Day 201 - apologies

"Apologizing does not mean you are wrong and the other person is right, it means you value your relationship more than you ego" not only did this ring true in my day today, but it's also perfectly written. An apology is something that shows empathy and is a hinge point in any relationship. It is the point were both parties realize that each person can make mistakes, and that the relationship is worth setting aside differences. It also helps build trust. You apologize for something, you are empathetic towards someone else's situation, and therefore value that person's emotional well being. You take responsibility for your actions and can be relied upon to do. Its funny that sometimes its just so important to let people know that you do in fact value them. And obviously if something ismisunderstood or you make a mistake.
