well, I thought it was the other way round.
I mean, to ask for forgiveness you have to admit you were wrong.
Sorry if that doesn’t make sense, I’m drunk^^
“though it’s something that’s better done when sober”
Yes, it is!
But often, alcohol or other mind-shattering things are needed to admit I could be wrong.
I’m sorry if I drift out of subject here, I was hooked by your comment : “Forgiving is often so much harder than asking for forgiveness, indeed”
Either my english is not as good as I thought, or I really disagree with this sentence.
(still sorry if that doesn’t make sense, I have a lot of excuses that nobody is interested with)
We might have some language confusion. Or maybe we just disagree, in which case I’m interested in hearing your opinion. What I meant by that comment was that I, personally, find it very difficult to forgive those who have hurt me, especially if they never admit that they were wrong. I sometimes find it difficult to ask others to forgive me, especially when I don’t necessarily feel that I was in the wrong, but asking for forgiveness is still easier for me than forgiving.
Well, I checked up with all the means availables to me.
I think we can rule out the language confusion (I may be wrong though)
Well, i’ll try to be clear without being too boring:
if”they never admit that they were wrong.” they don’t ask my forgiveness,therefore they don’t have it.
And if”I don’t necessarily feel that I was in the wrong” I don’t feel the need to ask for forgiveness.
What I am trying to say is that for the same level of hurt (personally, I don’t think we can have a universal scale of hurt) forgiving is easier than asking for forgiveness.
I really like this one!
Odd that this is posted today of all days. Very nice picture. If only it was that easy for some people.
Forgiving is often so much harder than asking for forgiveness, indeed.

Asking for forgiveness is an admission of being in the wrong, if it’s sincere (though it’s something that’s better done when sober).

Still too long-winded, I think. Sorry.
