Sometimes I wonder, what is the point of apologising after you've done something to someone and you know that it is going to hurt them?
Might as well not do the action and think for that person. I mean, isn't it true? Just tell the person, "Hey, I don't think this is beneficial and I don't think this is good" instead of doing something in a fit of anger and hurting them, and apologising after that.
I hate that kind of apology. It's like having a knife and you are angry at that person. You stab them in a fit of anger, knowing that it would hurt them, and when you see the blood flowing and you hear the scream of agony, you come back to your senses and apologise profusely and then send them to the hospital. They recover but the scar of what you have done would always be there. Some would recover from the emotional trauma, but some would see the scar and bear another grudge.
So just think of the consequences of the action before you do it.
Have an others mentality.
Think for others.
We live for others, and not so much for ourselves.
