Comparing Mistakes In Children's Books And The Bible

I would constantly annoy people due to my excessive apologizing. This fervor of guilt would culminate into me apologizing for apologizing, which would then leave me feeling guilty due to bothering people with all my apologizing. To me, minor offenses such as cursing and lying seemed grave enough for the death sentence, so

We all make mistakes that we later regret, but that's life. We need to focus more on just accepting to live with it.

Saying ¨I am sorry¨ is not all, the key element is to forgive. The seven-lettered word might be hard for some to pronounce,yet it is the most essential weapon to fight pride. While it causes the liberation of feelings inside a person, it ,likewise, is the resolving of a sociocultural problem, pride and honor, among various types of people.

Individuals use unnecessary apologies to please one another in order to avoid feeling like undesirable situations are their fault, but must learn to stop taking the blame and stand up for themselves. In fact, many people conceive an apology as “self-depreciating” or an “automatic way of keeping both

When one does wrong, the common reaction is to hide it and pretend as if nothing happened. Because of the human conscience it is difficult to completely forget about a wrongdoing. Through our conscience guilt is built up and eventually that guilt shatters enough

Also, understanding is the key to forgive someone regrets his immoral acts against you. The story of Albert Speer reveals the sorrow and compassion of one of the culprit find himself face to face with a victim. Mr. Albert was supporting the Nazis against Jews during the Holocaust. He acknowledged his responsibility and guilt for the mass crime. With the guilty verdict, he imprisoned for twenty years for his legal inhuman acts. When Simon Wiesenthal met him, Albert considered his eyes to find compassion and humanity inside (The Sunflower 246). Thus, I believe that when victim lets down the revenge, he also removes most of the barriers for a substantial correction. In the meantime, if you forgive, you can stop the stupidity of haters and prove that you are much stronger. Besides the world has a lot of evidence proclaiming that the desire for revenge disappears even after a long time of reciprocal violence, but only the people who forgive are the last standing. Overall, to forgive is to build bridges between victims and culprits for a healthy

People make mistakes all the time; therefore, they use apologizes to show the respect, politeness, and regret in order to appeal to the other person. Apologizing is a key technique for people to communicate. Apologies are usually used when a person makes a mistake and wants to correct it, but sometimes the ways people use them can change the purpose of the apologizes.

Our mistakes come with consequences, and that is good. But we need to help others to understand and accept they did something wrong. It is like when your kid does something wrong. You show him he did something wrong, and the you give him a punishment. After that you explain him what he did wrong and why he cannot do it again.

Once you admit it and correct it, you have to be able to grow stronger and move on. Dwelling on the past and feeling sorry for yourself after making a mistake will not change anything. The mistake was still made and you now have to be able to live with yourself. Mistakes can honestly be a

Learning from your mistakes is hard. It is also hard to admit. I had the privilege of meeting someone who has not only learned and admitted it but also believes he has changed for the better. Here is a story about Cameron Evans.

Here are instances in history of people who took responsibility of sins there did not commit. Pope John Paul II, The catholic pontiff, the servant of God apologized on behalf of the church to the world the sins the Catholic Church committed against certain persons in time past. He took it upon himself and made several apologies to women, people convicted by the inquisition, Muslims killed by the crusaders and almost everyone who had allegedly suffered at the hands of the catholic church over the years. He made these apologies at these

Cynthia, I enjoyed reading your discussion post. I think this lesson is realistic as to how people behave the mercy that they receive from other people is not returned. The king forgave the servant so the servant should have forgiven the fellow servant but he did not. I am glad we have the Bible as a guide to journey through this life. Thankful for Lamentations 3:22-23 That the Lord’s mercy is renewed daily. Jesus has forgiven us for all our sins, therefore, we must forgive people which are easier said than

One of the tasks in the topic Interacting With Others I interest most with Task 1.03. Obviously, we usually handle something inappropriately in our life. Sometimes our wrongdoings impact on the others, so an apology is extremely necessary to accept our mistakes. However, to apologize in a good way might be the hardest work. Firstly, we can not express regret with superficial, vulgar manner. That might make the receivers feel disrespectful and raise the problems between us. In contrast, the person we have wronged will feel better physically and emotionally when we say sorry in true repentance and deep sincerity. Next, if we do not apologize in a suitable way at the right time, we might not regain their trust. Like the situation in the Task 1.03,

Think about it, when was the last time you were extremely prideful and were very blatant about it? It happens to all of us and it is very common with the world we live in today. In the story The Tortoise And The Hare, Aesop shows us how pride can be very unpleasant and sometimes even harm ourselves. For example when Aesop says: "Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, 'How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?'.Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, 'There is plenty of time to relax.'"(1). This shows us how the hare was mocking slow and steady because of how slow he was going. The hare thought that he would have enough time to rest and relax, while the tortoise caught up. He

A famous saying by Al Franken goes like “Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless its a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.” I think mistakes are necessary. It shapes you to become a better, wiser and a stronger person who is prepared to face further challenges as well.
