Arrogant people do not see the need to apologize. In fact, arrogance is usually subtle and it disguises itself in form of tradition. I was raised in a society where parents are always right and opinionated children are considered disrespectful. While a lot of children including myself learned to be obedient and follow the rules, we missed the opportunity to think outside the box. It denied us the opportunity to bond with our parents. We could not discuss our views on different situations with them. Since parents were always right, “I am sorry” only came from the children even when parents were obviously at fault. Unfortunately, the cycle continues till date.
If we want our children to be sincerely sorry for their wrongs, we ought to lead the way. Do not be afraid to say “I am sorry” to your child. It creates an atmosphere of love and forgiveness in the home. It prevents the seed of resentment from growing in your child’s heart.
1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV) says “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”
True, it will also give children confidence when they grow. great post.
You are right. Thank you for stopping by.
welcome
This is so true. Adults are not always right. Great post as always
Thank you sis. I appreciate your comments♥️
I believe child abuse is inevitable when a society believes adults are always right. We may end up raising bitter and unforgiving children if our children do not have a voice in the home.
I generally don’t think I have a problem saying “sorry”. I know a couple people who just can’t admit they are wrong. Is that arrogance? Learned? Exposes vulnerability? Seen it in men and women. I don’t understand it.
Yes, so many factors makes it difficult for people to say “I am sorry”. Thank you for reflecting with me.
Hi, thanks for the follow 💓
Thank you for this gentle reminder…I do have a good habit of apologizing BUT I feel like I have to do it too often which means I often times continue to fault in the same areas….oh that Jesus would hurry and get back here!!!!🙏❤️
Thank you for reflecting with me. Yeah, it happens to me. I tend to overdo it🤦🏽♀️
