SAYING SORRY
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.

It takes courage and self-confidence to say sorry; and with those qualities also goes maturity!
