One Sorry Thorn

Do you say “I’m sorry” for you or for someone else…I would say both and I feel that it is obvious. You want to say it for your own sake so that you can let go of some regret within yourself and you also say it for the one you have hurt so that they will know that you care enough about their feelings that you feel bad about what you’ve done. When someone sincerely apologizes to you, the correct response would be to accept the apology and look within yourself to see if you have anything to be sorry for to this person…most likely you should probably apologize too.

It amazes me how some folks find saying, “I’m sorry” or even, “I’m sorry too” just absolutely impossible. It’s sad for so many reasons. First, it shows the other person that you sincerely do not care about them because your worries and cares are shoved inward so far you can’t see anything around you clearly. Secondly, it means that you’re missing a valid piece of human characteristics…a conscience. How can one live without a conscience? What does that mean about someone?

Well, for starters I think it’s helpful to the opposite party in this situation, the person who has a conscience and who apologized. I say this because I feel this earth can be like a big garden and people are like plants, there are good plants, bad plants, fruitful plants, pretty flowers, thorns, weeds, etc. and you can decide what kind of plant or flower you are; there are tons of plants but as plants we can’t see the other ones clearly, we can only sense them around us…so when one flower senses that another has no conscience, no caring feelings for the flower it’s like we then detect their thorns quickly and can then easily decide to grow towards different plants because there are so many beautiful plants on this earth, why waste our time with the thorns? So, in saying this, I am glad that I no longer have to bother with some thorns I have recently discovered…though I had sensed them for quite a while.

You get one life, you get one legacy, you have one test...try not to fail…at least try because you only get to do it once. I'm sorry if this post seems sad because it's really not, I am surrounded by TONS of beautiful flowers and fruit trees so one thorn isn't going to bring me down or throw off my senses :)

I love you, all my pretty flowers.
