SAYING SORRY

Self-confidence in knowing when one is wrong.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Feeling sorry about something you’ve done and

then saying so, isn’t a sign of weakness; nor does

it make you any less a man or woman for having the

courage to admit and confess to being in the wrong.

Rather, it’s an inner strength that should be

sustained - not something to be ashamed

of and forcibly contained. For whosoever can

acknowledge the bad as well as the good within

themselves and deal with each appropriately,

has already learnt the first lesson of life:

that we’re all interdependent upon

each other, and by recognising and dealing

honestly at all times with our individual frailties,

we are that better equipped to appreciate and

enhance those strengths and unique

characteristics that distinguish

us as human beings.
