Apology Helps
It is never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you have judged roughly, you said unkind things, and pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were so sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? It is frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.
A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.
Useful Words and Expressions:
1. push ahead捉紧进行
2. at the expense of在损害……的情况下
3. mysterious神秘的
4. moral道德的
5. disturbed扰乱的
6. stay out of不参与……,置身于……之外
7. heartfelt衷心的,真心真意的
8. roughly粗糙地,概略地
作为人类,我们都需要懂得道歉的艺术。诚实地回顾过去,想想自己有多少次做出了粗鲁的判断,说了多少不友善的话,还牺牲了朋友的利益来推动自己前进。然后数一数你明确而真诚地表示抱歉的次数。有点吓人,不是吗?这是可怕的,因为我们内心深处的某种智慧知道,即使是一个小小的错误,也会扰乱某种神秘的道德情感;在承认错误和表示遗憾之前,它是不存在的。真诚的道歉不仅能修复一段受损的关系,还能让它更牢固。如果你能想到一个值得你道歉的人,一个你错怪过的人,或者你对他的评价太过粗鲁,或者你只是忽视了他,那么现在就做点什么吧。
