Apology

Apology

To err is human, and we’ve all
“screwed the pooch” a time or two.

What separates the men from the boys,
or the Bodhisattvas from the boobs,
is HOW we apologize.

An apology is NOT an apology when we
treat OUR feelings as if they were MORE important then
those whose feet we have already stomped upon.
Could you recall the phrase, “Adding insult to injury”?

We have a choice.

We can apologize OR we can engage in
the silliness of justifying, rationalizing, and
minimizing our inappropriate and hurtful behavior;
but we can NOT do both.

Why is that?
Because they are mutually exclusive!

What will you do to cultivate the
compassion and love that will fill you with
both the spontaneous concern for others as well as
the wisdom to effectively meet those needs?
