You know, it is not an uncommon theme in movies and TV shows for the central character to reach a point in their life where they realize that they have hurt or harmed a lot of people and they go on a quest to apologize and to try to make things right. This generally occurs in the later stages of their life as they have found that the things they have done have not only damaged the lives of others but their own evolution as well. Thus, they go on a quest to seek out and find those they have harmed and attempt to fix or, at least, make recompense for what they have done.
 
How about you? Do you ever think about the people who you have harmed? These actions you have done could have taken on many forms. And, they could have been motivated by many motivating factors. But truly, do you ever think about the people you have hurt?
 
Many people, in the earlier stages of their life, never really take any of this into consideration. They do what they do, and they move on from there. Of course, this is basing a life upon a very low level of advancing consciousness. But, think how many do and then do not care. How about you?
 
People, who live their life at the level of hurt, as they pass through their life, also seem to find many justifications for harming that other person. Most of this logic is based upon a very self-serving mindset. Whether it is because they do not like a person, they want to hurt them because… Maybe they want revenge for whatever it is they feel that individual initially did to them. There’s a million reasons, but they all equal one thing, damage to someone else’s life.
 
It’s an easy thing to say that someone should not do something to someone else that they would not want done to themselves. But, whenever one is on the delivery side of this subject, and not on the receiving end, few ever contemplate this idealistic philosophy. Again, how about you?
 
In the movies and on TV whenever a production references the person entering an apology tour, it usually occurs after some eye opening and/or tragic event has happens to them. This is often the case in life whenever someone has a change of heart. It is based upon them meeting the cold hard truth of life and they realize they have walked down a faltering path of existence and wish to repair what they have broken.
 
Have you ever encountered a person who has chosen to turn down their ego and make a deserved apology to someone they have harmed? Have you ever walked this path?
 
I believe many of us have encountered people who have done something wrong to us and they have never stepped up and become the better person and apologized and tried to make things right. They just walk down their road in life and even if negative things began to happen to them, based on their bad karma, they are more willing to seek the sympathy of others than to look at their own wrong deeds that have caused them to encounter what they are encountering.
 
It’s the sad truth; most people are never the big enough person to make amends. How about you?
 
I believe this pattern of life teaches us all important lessons. I mean, we all have done things that have hurt others, whether intentionally or not. But, it is only the best of us that attempts to fix any damage we have created in another person’s life.
