there are certain instances in our life that we need to ask and say sorry or give forgiveness to someone. would it compensate for the wrongs being done? should it be given freely? Without hesitation?

I personally find it easier to say sorry than to forgive. Asking for an apology is easy because i was practiced by my parents to do it all the time when i make a mistake. Forgiving someone might be a problem but it depends on the degree of the offense. If its really not that big of a deal then just forgive and let go. Life is too short to waste it on holding grudges. If the offense is really foul then i gave a warning if that person does it again i won't confront i just walks away and not think about that person. I won't bother thinking about what he did because its just a waste of time. Sometimes i just pretend that person doesn't exist and if i happen to be in same place with him i just ignore him and just have fun.

Saying sorry or giving forgiveness should compensate for wrong doings if it is genuine. Many people give an apology freely, but I wouldnt accept it that easily. Just think about how many times you say sorry, just to say it.

mistakes are just part of everyday life, the best part is that we should learn from it.... if you have done wrong to someone, then definitely asking for a sincere apology would be helpful in easing pain and anger... forgiving should be without restriction as God always forgive, so why can't we?
