Why apologizing is helpful in life

Apologizing is the process of undoing some emotional damage your feeling self may have caused in the past.

We, as humans, cannot unfold time. That said, we can look back and reflect.

This process is invaluable.

Why?

Well, by evaluating our past actions, we can understand the imperfections of our actions, correcting as we go along.

This process is called learning.

Learning is a lifelong process, which enables the individual to move through life with the least amount of effort.

Hence, apologizing, the process of asking another for forgiveness, is essential for two reasons.

I) It allows the other person to heal from the wound you may have inflicted on them.

II) It allows you to move forward in life, feel lighter and improve.

This reduces overall suffering for both parties involved and helps both to move forward in life. What is there not to like?

Do you want to apologize to somebody today?
