HJFinAZ: It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes
and to make amends for them.



Hi Pat

Yes it is...

But for some, if they are not allowed to make amends because another person refuses to speak to them, then it is impossible.

So making amends is wonderful if combined with forgiveness.

Sometimes we make amends to others and they have such a resentment that they place themselves in a position where they need to make amends, usually it is easier to always blame others though..rolling on the floor laughing

I don't know about self-respect but, I think that it make you a better person when you can admit to yourself and to others that you were wrong and try to make it right for all involved....JMO

I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. But sometimes I don't listen to the other persons side.

Admitting to mistakes is the easy part, Making amends for it is something else.

I agree, and I have done that... the rest is up to them, but life doesn't stop until you die right, so might as well keep on living.. good to see you, missed ya while you were gone..
