Do You Really Need This?

For someone to tell you [b]"I'm sorry"[/b] just so you can heal. I'm talking about that person who hurt you, that person who broke your heart, that person who broke you to pieces. Will it make a difference in your life if they did or didn't say [b]"I'm sorry"[/b]! It's beautiful to get but do you need it. Like really really need it?

like many have already said forgiveness is about freeing yourself from the heavy burden of anger and resentfulness . as for the other person, saying "I'm sorry" seems to be a self-serving action directed at ending their feeling of guilt and and being loved once more. what I find even more insignificant is when people insist on how bad they feel !! as if them feeling bad is suposed to be some kind of comfort to me, as if i'm some evil-hearted person who will answer " good, it brings me great satidfaction that you are feeling bad". I say instead of saying sorry or describing how bad you feel how about doing something to repair the situation. I often joke and say "instead of telling me you feel bad, do something that will actually be useful for me to feel good, like give me money or something 🤣😂"

@reflectingmonkey But then again it's back to square one when you're done spending the money 😂

@Lichocolati what I mean is that if someone's gonna offer me something as useless as "I'm so rorry, i feel so bad" , which brings me no enjoyment and in no way improves my life, I say give me some cash, that I can use. so between scenario one : " I know I hurt you, i'm sorry, i feel bad" or " I know I hurt you, here's 500$" , I'll take door no2

@reflectingmonkey It would be useful if money could repair the emotional damage 😄
