It is also widely accepted that forgiveness is not only based on the admission of a "mistake" or even the "taking of responsibility", but the transgressor, in communicating to the injured party, must include and demonstrate a true understanding of the IMPACT on the other and have true remorse for the damage done. Otherwise, an admission is devoid of true empathic responsibility...warmly, matt
Hardest task. Not to dwell in and pummel oneself for the transgressions. Live a life so aware that you are so removed from repeating those past mistakes. Sometimes you can’t repair the damage. I had an experience recently where I made a mistake unknowingly so I apologized and the apology was graciously accepted. Now I know and I know I will never make that mistake again.
