It was an interesting article. It made me think and that is always a good thing. I did a little work to find out the source because sometimes that matters. It this case it didn’t matter at all. It was an authentic and general article and gave me a lot to think about.
When I believe I have misbehaved and hurt someone intentionally or otherwise, I believe in doing everything in my power to somehow make amends. I think that is important so you can move past whatever happened. Hanging on to anger tends to eat at the soul, I believe. I also think it is very important not to forget, so you don’t find yourself making those same kinds of mistakes.
Yes, I have changed some behaviors. Yes, I will change many more. That is what learning and growing are all about and that never ends. Hardhearted people have a long journey to peace. Learning to avoid pitfalls is so important, but always focusing on finding those pitfalls is a danger as well. We tend to find what we are looking for.

wow, this is a lot to unpack.
The answer for me is yes and no. I will always stand up for my friends, regardless.
I do often find myself regretting things that happen. But i have to let those feelings flow away from me, they can be toxic.
I love to help others, till now I did not regret anything.
So now you do regret helping others Fortune? I don’t understand.
I always try to help others and it will sometimes backfire on you. We do the best we can in life.
That is true. There are times that helping doesn’t help.
Sometimes we just unconsciously repeat our mistakes … because it has become a “habit”.
I’ve got myself into some mess while trying to help friends … and then she chose to get back into the cycle …
I think I’m more for stepping away …
It is often like a tight rope walk I think.
I’m okay to walk with you if we’re close enough but don’t burn the rope!
