Many of us missed it
because we lacked simple attitude; that is to say "AM SORRY". Saying we're sorry is
called apologizing. When we apologize, we are telling someone that we are sorry
for the hurt we caused, even if we didn't do it on purpose. Some of us who are
apologizing might also say that they will try to do better. They might promise
to fix or replace what was broken or take back a mean thing they said.
When we apologize to
someone, and really mean it, it's because we have stopped to think about how
the person may have felt because of what we did or said. When we stop to(and)
think about the other person's feelings, we begin to feel sorry for our
behavior. We might even feel embarrassed or ashamed if we did something that we
knew was wrong.
Even if what happened was an accident or we did something we didn't mean to do, we would probably still feel sorry if we knew the other person's feelings were hurt. After apologizing, we might feel a little better (the other person probably will, too).
When we apologize in a caring way, we can feel good because we are trying to make things right again.
When we apologize to someone, he or she might apologize back to us: "That's OK, I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have teased you." And then maybe we can both feel friendly again.
Saying I'm sorry when we need to is the right thing to do. It does a lot of good. But by itself, it might not be enough to make everything all better again. Sometimes along with an apology, we may need to fix the mistake or promise to do better. Sometimes doing a nice thing for the person after we apologize helps show that we really are sorry and want to be friendly again.
Sometimes a heartfelt "I'm sorry" fixes everything right away. Other times, it might take a while for someone to feel friendly after we apologize. We might need to give the other person some time. Even after we say we are sorry, we might still feel bad about what we said or did; but we can feel good about apologizing and about making up our mind to do better.
But hmm.... Nobody knows how to do it better but we can still better at it. The more we bury our ego and care about others' feeling, the better we are at saying SORRY. May God help us!

NOTE
NOTE
Everyone feels angry
with someone else now and then. Being angry is OK (and nothing to apologize
for) but knowing how to tell someone what made us angry is important. it helps
to put our anger under control and make us feel relax. Keeping anger inside is
very dangerous to our health and well-being in general.
