Because it’s good to do something about it when you feel bad about hurting someone! Feeling remorse can be such a gift if we choose to work with it towards healing

We all know apologizing is essential to life, relationships, existing in humanity. But its shocking how little people actually do it, and how often it isn't qualified by "im sorry you feel that way", "Im sorry that happened", or "im sorry it turned out that way" but like most things in life less is more. And a simple, sincere, unobstructed 'I'm sorry' or even the more direct, "I'm really sorry" can go a long way. I know I need to get better at doing it more and I'm sure some others feel the same way. when you fucked up just say sorry. Nobody expects you to be perfect but it means a lot to acknowledge imperfections head on instead of getting swallowed by your ego.

probably going to need to do it heaps throughout your life, so might as well get comfortable with it early. i'm still working on this (and the ability to accept I have done something wrong without thinking it means I am terrible/unforgiveable/worthless/etc) so pls give tips if u have any

as a (recovering) people pleaser, i am guilty of over apologizing. for many people, including myself, the word “sorry” has become a filler word, rather than a sincere expression of regret. of course apologies are necessary in certain situations, but we don’t need to apologize for simply taking up space. i am slowly letting “sorry for the inconvenience” become “thank you for your time,” “sorry for rambling” become “thank you for giving me a safe space,” etc.

I was going through the Ignatian approach to education today (adapted from the Spiritual Exercises for those keeping track at home) and this tenet is just so good.
St. Ignatius says that a person, “ought to be more eager to put a good interpretation on a neighbor’s statement than to condemn it.Further, if one cannot interpret it favorably, one should ask how the other means it. If the meaning is wrong, one should correct the person with love; if this is not enough, one should search out every appropriate means through which, by understanding the statement in a good way, it may be saved.”
This is very Hanlon’s razor (never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity/ignorance) and I just feel like having a curious posture like this is a major slay and makes us better people

Like look at this shit. Just kinda sick tbh. The Eastern church invented maximalism which is just very slay for them (even if you aren't into God or whatever I feel like you can enjoy old buildings with tons of art everywhere)
