Note from the author:

Even with the closest family members and best friends, conflicts and unpleasant moments are inevitable.

In society's perception, an apology is expected from the person who has done something wrong, and logically, that is true.

However, in the realm of family, love, and friendship, sometimes there is no logical reason behind an apology. We argue for the sake of being right, and even if we win the argument, we may lose the bond.

Think about it... Is this really the outcome we desire?

When unpleasant incidents occur between us and the people around us, if the other person is willing to seek peace, apologize, and seek forgiveness, it doesn't mean that they are the one at fault. It means that they value the relationship more than being right or wrong. They are willing to humble themselves and extend goodwill.

When it's their mistake, they apologize, showing that they are capable of change.

When it's our mistake, they are willing to apologize first, indicating that our position in their hearts is more important than being right or wrong. They are willing to set aside their ego to accommodate our shortcomings.

If you have such a friend in your life, cherish them. Because they don't care about who is right or wrong, they care about you. So, even if the mistake is on your part, they are willing to apologize and embrace our faults.

Since childhood, we anticipate growing up, then we hope for a good job, and after having a good job, we aspire to have a good position. We also desire a good partner for marriage.

But have we ever asked ourselves, are we ready? Are we prepared to shoulder the responsibilities that come with achieving our dreams?

If we are prepared, we will be joyful when our dreams come true. If we are not prepared, our dreams will burden us with responsibilities that may overwhelm us.

After reading this article, I wonder if you, like me, have someone in mind whom you want to apologize to. Apologizing first doesn't mean the fault lies with you, but it certainly signifies the importance of the other person in your heart, surpassing the notion of right or wrong.
