And I would like to add to “the value of forgiveness” the ‘value of a well-meant apology.’
Apologies never make one the lesser human (although it’s felt like that by many), quite the opposite, it shows strength of character to admit one was wrong. Forgiveness should be the natural follow up. They clear the air before an argument gets out of hand.
I agree completely. 'make amends' is what I suggested to be equivalent to an apology and making up for the wrong if possible! Thanks for the finer distinction and the feedback, Joyce!
I've been a big fan of Kabir since my first visit to Kabirvad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabirvad, a beautiful spot where monkeys steal the Parle-Gs right out of your pocket.
Absolutely beautiful, Jayshree.

Just my humble opinion.

Love these Jayshree! So much to learn from each of them!
Thanks so much, Pamela!
