Episode notes
Apology and Control
- Apologizing relinquishes control, giving the other person power over your forgiveness.
- This vulnerability can impact your self-perception, especially if the apology isn't accepted.
Self-Esteem vs. Relationships
- Not apologizing can temporarily boost self-esteem, avoiding the admission of wrongdoing.
- However, prioritizing self-image over apologies damages long-term relationships.
Seeking Self-Improvement
- Recognize that it's natural to see yourself positively, but constant self-justification is a warning sign.
- Strive to identify areas for improvement as a marker of moral growth.
