An apology without reparation is just an intention
When we make a mistake and just say "I'm sorry”, without generating concrete changes in our behavior, we have definitely only expressed an intention.
When harming another, it is essential to take actions that make it possible to repair the damage, especially if we care about the other person and want to preserve the bond.
Words are not enough, we must show in our actions the willingness to mitigate the impact, or reduce the effect that this action that we committed and that affected another had.
To think is to agonize. Understanding is suffering. Hence the tendency to live alienated. Alienated, in reality, without seeing her. We are constantly lying to ourselves.
Hence the success of religions, ideologies and propaganda, ahhh let's also add the diversions and escapes.
Silence terrifies us and the truth-true, not the "truth" that we construct at our convenience.
And in that convenience...
As long as the ultimate explanation is still being sought, most people limit themselves to living and believing what their respective traditions and religions tell them and, meanwhile, God is still necessary, to avoid emptiness and nihilism, from nothing to nothing.
From God to God is still the most universal idea.So, the million dollar question arises.
What is life?
This is all that has been said by each of the authors who speak on the subject and then some. That something else is what each person adds or takes away, according to our own experience.
In absolute terms, life is a being in itself always incomplete and unsatisfied.
I think that's where the "need" for the "other" and for God as human completeness comes from.
Two years ago, a good friend traveled to Caracas, the capital of my country, to participate in the great marathon 2023. The marathon route is very pleasant, because it crosses Los caobos Park and the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) through los ilustres, with its ups and downs, sometimes it reaches Las Mercedes, Mariana really liked to participate and do the route. That year of the marathon, everything was different, he gave her a syncope on that course and ended up in the emergency clinic for a heart attack...,you never know when it's your turn.
In short, every second life gives us lessons, a learning and thousands of experiences, although many times we fail to see the immediate benefit.
Everything arrives and is put together like a puzzle 🧩.
Being congruent not only with our actions but also with our thoughts, so there is no such thing as the famous guilt game.
So we have to be grateful for every day that we breathe and we are alive.
We can do whatever we want today without haste, we don't have to justify everything, but without pause, without leaving it for another day, we just have to trust that every step, even those that seem insignificant, will take us to where we want to be, because maybe it will never come.
