Just be apologetic, and we'd get along.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. As we grow older, we come across different people with different virtues, different beliefs, and different characters. For two people to get along, they must have similar virtues or characteristics; this helps strengthen the friendship or relationship.

I have also come across people with multiple virtues who put them into practice. Using your virtues correctly helps you stand out. People see you for who you are. Many people today are admired for their virtues, and many people got to where they are today, and it's all thanks to their virtues. An act of kindness helped me find favor with a man I never knew, and he helped me like he had known me since Adam.

I have come across people with different virtues: people who are loyal, people who have integrity, people who have self-control, people who are generous, people who are kind, and people who are the complete opposite of all these. But we hardly come across people who are apologetic and admit when they are wrong; these days, pride has turned out to be the order of the day, and this has tampered with a lot of people's relationships and friendships.

You see people making mountains out of mere hills; an issue that would have been resolved amicably can even result in fighting these days, all because the one who's at fault has refused to admit they are wrong. Many people feel like it will cost them everything to say sorry. I learned early to say sorry, whether wrong or right, and it has helped my life in so many ways and brought about peace in my life.

These days, instead of people admitting they are wrong, they give you reasons why they did what they did and why things should go the way they want them to. It's annoying, especially when it's crystal clear they are wrong, but their pride and ego won't let them accept the truth. Many are willing to go the extra mile just to prove to you they are right; many are willing to toss a relationship or friendship in the mud instead of apologizing.

There are lots of virtues out there; you can possess them all, but if you lack apologetics, they all mean nothing to me. One who's apologetic shows gratitude; being apologetic gives room for many other virtues to come into play. Being apologetic means you are not proud, and you'd show gratitude for every little help rendered to you. One who feels like they are never wrong and finds it very difficult to apologize is believed to be proud as well and will not show gratitude for help rendered because they might feel entitled to whatever help is offered to them.

Some people feel apologizing would hurt their ego, and for that reason, they prefer to jeopardize a relationship or friendship instead of apologizing. Saying sorry will cost nothing, but some people act like it will cost them millions. Be apologetic, admit when you are wrong, possess other virtues, and we'd get along smoothly.

Thanks for reading my post.
