I would like to make a formal apology. It must be difficult to have someone who loves too deeply in your contact list, and I can only imagine. I know that I care excessively for a small number of unimportant people but I thought maybe that would be better than not caring at all for a large number of people.

I would hate it if someone constantly told me how they really felt. What a burden that would be, I thank God nobody does. When I admit when your actions upset me or when I am hopelessly in love with somebody, I never meant to offend. I always thought genuine relationships with other humans meant sharing and for overstepping that boundary, I would very sincerely like to make a formal apology. But I am not going to. I would like to but I won't. I will not make a formal apology. Do you think that when I tell you of the thoughts in my head that I am expecting you to tell me that these thought just won't work? Thoughts cannot be pushed aside. You cannot minimize feelings. You can quieten them but eventually everything bursts. Everything breaks and so will my silence. I will tell you that yes, your eyebrows are fucking awful and yes you let me down but god of course I love you. I will never not love you. I will not tell you one, I will tell you all. I will not brush my feelings and thoughts aside and I will sure as fucking sweet heaven above not make a formal apology for the
As our first year of apologetic class, we started out with the basic idea of apologetics. The root word of apologetic, apologia, means “ To speak in defense “ and it is often used in religious matters. The purpose of apologetic is to give a solid and valid defense against the questions that are thrown against the christian society. We give such defense by stating the facts that provide support to the christian statements and views. As a christian, we are supposed to be able to explain our faith as it is said in 1 Peter 3:15 “ But in your heart set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give answer to everyone who asks you to give reasons for the hope that you have. But do it with gentleness and respect.”. We defend our faith not only to have a solid base, but also in order to help those who are in search for truth.
The National Apology of 2008 is the latest addition to the key aspects of Australia’s reconciliation towards the Indigenous owners of our land. A part of this movement towards reconciliation is the recognition of Indigenous Australians and Torres Strait Islanders rights to their land. Upon arrival in Australia, Australia was deemed by the British as terra nullius, land belonging to no one. This subsequently meant that Indigenous Australians and Torres Strait Islanders were never recognised as the traditional owners. Eddie Mabo has made a highly significant contribution to the rights and freedoms of Indigenous Australians as he was the forefather of a long-lasting court case in 1982 fighting for the land rights of the Torres Strait Islanders. Eddie Mabo’s introduction of the Native Title Act has provided Indigenous Australians with the opportunity to state claim to their land, legally recognising the Indigenous and the Torres Strait Islanders as the traditional owners.
Many people have gone through their lives conforming their beliefs and practices for the sake of fitting in or for the happiness of others, but Socrates was not one of these people. In “The Apology” Plato shows Socrates unwillingness to conform through a speech given by Socrates while on trial for supposedly corrupting the youth of Athens and believing in false gods. Although the title of the dialogue was labeled “The Apology,” Socrates’ speech was anything but that, it was a defense of himself and his content along his philosophical journey. At no time during the trial was Socrates willing to change his ways in order to avoid punishment, two reasons being his loyalty to his God and his philosophical way of life.
When one kid pushes another kid, the immediate response is to tell the kid to apologize. Although the child may apologize, he is not actually sorry for his actions. This may seem childish, but there may be some legitimacy behind the fake apology. Too often, when people err, they do not understand what they did, why their action was wrong, or why it is okay for others to repeat a similar action. In the same way, in Truman Capote’s nonfiction novel, In Cold Blood, when Perry Smith murders four members of the Clutter family, he has little to no remorse. It becomes evident to the reader that Perry Smith is truly a “cold-blooded killer”.
When reading the dialogs of Socrates, it is easy to ready each as an individual story. It is more difficult to take into consideration every word that Socrates has said up to that point and allow that to influence the validity of Socrates current position or argument. Though this may be more difficult we must take everything that Socrates has claimed to hold in every dialog. While doing this brings up a potential contradiction between Socrates Apology and in his dialog with Crito. Though this contradiction is clearly visible when focusing on just the idea of these claims, there is background beliefs of the Gods that allows both Socrates claim in his apology and his argument in the Crito dialogs.
Generation. But as with any controversial issue in our society there many differing views on the matter, in support and not in support. of such a move, he said. This essay will briefly outline these arguments. subjectively, if not a Firstly an argument in support of an apology is that such a statement would be simply recognizing history and accepting the truth – which some argue is the mature and just act.
A. Under trial for corrupting youth and not worshiping the Gods in Athens, Socrates takes an attitude that many might interpret as pompous during his trial. Rather than apologise, as Plato’s dialogue title Apology suggests, Socrates explains why he is right and those who accused him are mistaken. He speaks in a plain manner, as if the jury is just another of his followers. Socrates first cites the profit at Delphi for why he behaves in ways that lead to him being under scrutiny of the law. He explains that his friend, Chaerephon, went to ask the oracle if anyone is wiser than Socrates and the oracle responded no (21a). Socrates then explains his interpretation of this being that he is wise in knowing that he does not know certain things, where

Dear Professor, I want to take this opportunity to deliver my sincere apology to your due to my inappropriate actions. Education and learning is emphasized as very important and in fact sacred in my family and I take it very seriously. However as I entered the university and got overwhelmed by the amount of time and work it takes, I made a mistake that I regret very much. I am ashamed of myself for cheating; it is certainly not something that I am used to but as I explained I felt overwhelmed and found cheating the easy way out. I understand how my actions must have offended you as an educator because you work so hard to teach the students but must be disappointed when students try to take advantage and fake learning by cheating like I did.
The main argument in The Apology by famous ancient Greek philosopher Plato is whether, notorious speaker and philosopher Socrates is corrupting the youth by preaching ungodly theories and teaching them unlawful ideas that do harm to individuals and society. In his words Socrates quoted the prosecution’s accusation against him: “Socrates is guilty of corrupting the minds of the young, and of believing in supernatural things of his own invention instead of the gods recognized by the state.” 1 Further Socrates consistently introduces tediously compiled number of examples to provide valid and sound arguments to prove that he is innocent of the charges brought up against him to the court.
Third, based on these materials, I think about if I could learn from Socrates. Fourth, there is an important question: would Socrates have agreed to take me as an apprentice? Once I have answered all these questions, I was able to formulate my answer to the question: Would I like to have Socrates as my teacher? The apology is a defense speech of Socrates in a legal proceeding in Athens in 399 BC after speeches of his accusers were heard.

Withholding means keeping them inside and not giving any verbal or nonverbal cues to their existence. Moreover, it is generally an inappropriate means of dealing with feelings. Withholding feelings are one way to deal with feelings but are a very unhealthy approach. Another approach to deal with feelings is to display them.

Forgiveness is the act of releasing an offender of any wrong or hurt they may have caused you whether they deserve it or not. It is a decision to let go of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group of people. When we choose to forgive, we’re wiping the slate clean, cancelling a debt, or as I love to say, “Letting it go.” In the Bible, the Greek word for forgiveness literally means to “let it go.” This concept, “forgiveness,” is easier said than done. Majority of people find it very difficult to let go of offenses and hurts caused by others. I really do believe that most people desire to let it go, but we lack the knowledge of how to do it. As believers, we are instructed by God maintain an attitude of forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a practice I have repeated Forgiveness is freedom. There is a key that opens the door to healing, happiness and peace, that key is forgiveness. Forgiveness starts with you and it is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Forgiveness of both self and others is the most powerful tool we have, and it is readily attainable to all of us. Take a step towards creating a kinder humanity by forgiving someone in your life.
