I often think about the relationships of my past ans the times that I have wronged people, and would love at some time to make those wrongs right - even f it meant just apologising to the people involved. I am not talking about massive things that I have done. Just simple regrets about how I have treated people at certain times. Has anyone actually ever followed through on this sort of idea and what was the result.

The first step to correct our mistake is to ask apology (if mistake done towards a person)
If we've done mistakes in life- it is to give us a lesson.
I always believe that experience is the best teacher.
Life is full of lessons to be learned.

I like what you said about mistakes in life simply being a lesson. So many times we dwell on our past life mistakes and actually let them mould our future in a negative way instead of shaping and changing us in a positive way. We should never let our mistakes stop us from moving forward into our future.

that is needed at this moment we need to forget our guilt past wrongdoings and hope only for the best to happen alltime

Are you saying that we should just forget the wrongs that we have done and move on or that we should forget the wrongs that others have done to us and move on. I think we should certainly do the latter and there is also a good argument for forgetting our own wrongs and moving on sometimes, even without righting them in certain circumstances.

Hey thanks for such a nice discussion. yes i too have this feeling of apologizing to all those people whom i have hurt in my life before directly or indirectly. it is this guilt of mine that i want to work upon if i am given a chance. it is always better to speak our heart and amend our ways and make friendship with others and stay in unison with others.
What say?

The easiest way is always to ask for forgiveness at the earliest opportunity. Once you wait for a long time - years on occasion as is the case in my situation, things can start to get a little bit awkward. In many cases you may even be asking forgiveness for something that the person can't even remember, or you could be opening up old wounds. Either way though, I think it is still best to apologise.
