Think Too Hard

"I'm Sorry"

When you think of someone not being forgiven do you think of a child being punished?

Wanting to be forgiven due to the regret your feeling, not for the inhumanity.  I don't ever want the reason you don't do "it" next time is because " you don't want to feel the guilt  ".  Due to whatever the wrongful action was, you may feel guilty doing this or that but it's that lack of humanity that most probably got you to this point. A psychopath (someone that lacks or barely feels emotion) can not feel "regret/guilt" yet the majority of those with the mental problem can  have the capacity to withhold from extensively harming. Why? It's because they KNOW not to do it, not because they feel it's the right thing to do and they won't regret it later; aware of whether it is immoral or not.  I don't want you to do "it" because you don't want the bad feeling or pain(guilt)  to come back or apologize because you want it to go away. You should do/don't do "it" because you have at least conceived the knowledge that it was morally wrong or the act itself, no matter what it was, was an insult not just to the person but to yourself/ the person you are trying to appear to be.  Apologizing in fear of regret and guilt is hardly an okay way to live life.  People should apologize from learning that act was wrong in general.  An example is when a person apologizes to someone when they feel bad, but if they could get away with it they would do it again. Such as lying.

My Rules When It Comes To Apologizing

-Never expect to be forgiven and always accept that.

-The person, in the back of their minds, may always link you to the incident consciously or not.

-Never expect something can be done to gain forgiveness; Unless you rewrite time then you can't rewrite the pain you caused.

-Never apologize because of guilt at what you did alone.

- Apologizing is something you learn from.

At least this is all in my own opinion anyway...
