"When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer." Plutach. Not true, for there are always more worlds to conquer.

1. your opinion - what's there to be PROUD about? (lemme try askin another way, when the kids do somethin and they get caught, yelled at, swatted, then they poke their lip out, they're angry at having been admonished) forgiveable b/****il they're taught they're not supposed to know better, is it like that? mad at having been [___________]?

3. immaturity - thank you, i'm learning, keep talking
dayum i'm starting to feel like i'm the one with the pig nose b/c it's just not that big a deal.
I believe that some men think its admitting defeat. Some men think it's a sign of weakness and some men....just don't get it. They really don't. They may not EVEN realize that you were hurt or upset over something they did or said and they are COMPLETELY unaware that you want, maybe even NEED an apology to be able to move beyond it. Then there the men who know....and just don't give a damn. In that case...it's time to go.
As for me, I realized a long time ago that apologizing is part of forgiveness. Unforgiveness blocks blessings! It holds you captive in the pain and can, if allowed to fester and grow, block good things from coming into your heart. Forgiveness doesn't mean that you allow others to abuse you or that you will even stay in relationship with a person. Forgiveness means to "untie". So when you forgive you untie yourself from the pain and let it go. More times than not that is easier said than done. As for me, with God's help I have been able to forgive. I have to rely on His ability to help let it go, because on my own, I could not have done it and I admit, many times that is a long process.
If I want to be forgiven, from God and everyone else I must be willing to forgive. If we can not forgive, God says that we can not be forgiven. So I do apologize when I have jacked it up or even if I THINK that may have jacked it up and I most certainly forgive others because I will not allow my blessings to be blocked by my a hardened heart. Life is just too damn short for that.
