The meaning of an apology

Sometimes we make mistakes and when that happens apologizing is the right thing to do, but sometimes we are just not able to do it. Maybe because of the pride, maybe we don’t think it’s our fault after all, maybe we are afraid that people will reject us and refuse to forgive us.

Still I think that saying sorry is the right thing to do, even though it’s hard and some situations are so unfair, that we just can’t find the strength to apologize.
When we admit that we made a mistake, it makes us wiser, we realize something about ourselves, when we ask for forgiveness we risk a lot, but I'm sure that at the end it makes us stronger and better. We risk and we gain, we risk and we lose. No matter what the result of our apology will be, it's already out there. We admit our fault, express our guilt and make ourselves vulnerable by opening up our souls. Even if people turn us down, it's okay. The most important thing is that we admit we were wrong and take it from there. Now we have a choice, to improve ourselves by learning from the mistake we made and make sure it never happens again. That's it.
