Want to Read $ 13.99"It's easy to live and work with someone when you don't owe them an apology. But when you apologize for the fucked up shit you did then you need to carry the guilt and the shame."-Rémy Ngamije, The Eternal Audience of One
"Isn't that what apologies are? Acknowledgment of guilt and shame. And the other person takes your wrongdoing and agrees to carry it and le t you be human again. That's why I don't believe weak people can forgive. What you're going to do when a weak person forgives you? They can't harm you, they can't take anything from you. Forgiveness from the weak is just words. Forgiveness, real forgiveness, requires the other person to remember, not to forget. When people forget the reason they forgave, the forgiven forget to earn their forgiveness."-Rémy Ngamije, The Eternal Audience of One
