I'm on the topic I thought I'd ask y'all if you've ever apologised for something and if so what was it and why?
I think you've brought up an interesting topic here. I've been busy with family since they came to visit Malaysia.
I actually had like a 2-3 hours conversation with my step-dad on this and I've been slightly enlightened on the bigger picture in life. It actually started out with what is life and it got kind of deep. I'm not sure if you will get this but our life is actually meaningless. We were just meant to procreate and that's it. That's actually all living things trees, animals, insects etc. If we die, we just become part of the nutrients to grow the next life. I don't want go on too much on this because not everyone will get it and some people won't be able to fathom it but I honestly think that you are able to. Everything we do in life is to go against that theory of procreating and honestly to justify our existence is more than just that conspiracy theory.
Anyways within our conversation, my step-dad mentioned that our actions is kind of what sets course for consequences whether they be good or bad. For example, if someone beats me up and I think it's ok to beat somebody else up, I'm actually continuing that chain. If I don't do it though, it actually stops this chain reaction from continuing. Sadly, the world will always continue because it's impossible for everyone to stop.
Anyways I think apologizing is the right thing to do because you have the intention to set things right. Who knows maybe you feel like you're right but it's not always about being right. Sometimes you can be right and be the one to apologize because you're the better person. I do think apologizing helps me move on and others as well as long as they are doing it genuinely. I feel it shows growth and maturity but that's just my opinion.
Hopefully, what I said makes sense. If it didn't, then just forget it. I'm not the best at explaining things but it's really crazy once you catch the gaps in what's happening and what's happened in life throughout history.
It makes sense, although I think it depends on what's being apologised for.
This apology post was really just a way to lead into my photos, something I thought might be a little more interesting than here's some photos and judging by some of the comments, I was right.
I think an apology should come with action not just words in many cases but I don't feel any need to apologise for my sense of honour or integrity...you know what I mean? An apology must mean something.
Anyway, thanks for your story and for your thoughts. I agree that sometimes a simple apology is all that's needed to make things better, as long as it's heartfelt.
Yes for sure it depends on the circumstances! For me, I think it's more on situations where a person wrongs someone or inflicts some sort of suffering towards another whether it be physical or mental etc intentionally or accidentally.
I get what you mean. You shouldn't need to apologize for this. You didn't do anything wrong. Sometimes people are too sensitive or don't get it but I know you're a smart guy so you would probably know where to draw the line on that stuff depending on who you were talking to.
You're welcome and I'm glad I was able to make some sense and have some agreement on what I said haha.
It's a personal thing I guess and I think just needs a little common sense applied to know when and when not to apologise.
oh ya that's super true. It does need that bit of common sense. Some people though I just don't know what's wrong with them sometimes. Maybe they are just consumed by all the noise in this world and lost touch of logic
So much noise in the world now and most of it with no value to add.
