Read along with the original article(s) here: https://keithwilsoncounseling.com/2017/03/10/making-amends-is-better-than-making-apologies/ Quotes to ponder: "Making amends repairs the damage; making apologies is only a promise to repair the damage." "You'll want to be careful that, in your eagerness to be rid of your guilt or achieve reconciliation, you don't cause more harm by attempting to make unwanted direct amends." "Keep your flowers, then, along with your apologies; rather, give the flowers to someone else who could use them." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
