Since childhood, we’ve been taught by our elders to say “I’m sorry” each time we did something that we shouldn’t have done, or if we unintentional hurt a playmate. And we were able to grow with it. We learned to humble ourselves ask for forgiveness for any wrong doing.
But why is it that the reciprocal of that sorry, which is the “it’s okay” wasn’t as commonly used word as the “I’m sorry”? Why is it that we can easily apologize but not as easily forgive…when it is as important as the other?
Yes, it both gives us stress over an unforgiven incident and unaccepted apology. Why be one-sided?! I believe the “Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you!” and this definitely applies here!
Well, maybe kids are better in learning such things than us…since we know, we just don’t want to acknowledge that we know.
