Apologies

Halfhearted or insincere apologies are worse than not apologizing at all because recipients find them insulting. A good apology is like medicine whereas a bad one is like spraying perfume on a cut.

Its like this: when you give an apology, anything less than your very best, doesnt really cut it.

Everyones real issue when they apologize is humbling themself and realizing their own mistake. We’re always so busy being cynical about everyone elses shortcoming that we forget our own. Most people will sincerely appreciate your efforts, and if a person doesnt, thats not something one has control over so dont let it get to you.

The worst feeling is when you realize your time is up, and you can no longer make-up for broken relationships and lost ties. May Allah swt protect us from becoming arrogant and always keep us steadfast, Ameen.
