I grow and thrive when I offer something of myself and stay open enough to receive as well. This seems to be written into our nature.
If I stay honest and in touch with myself, I cannot remain indifferent to the harm I have done. The lack of life in another person begins to hurt, especially when I know I had some part in causing it. That is why making amends can be something surprisingly positive. It can become a quiet celebration that now I am able to do something different from the harm I once did.
A real apology should not silence the other person before they speak, and making amends should not become a way of proving to myself that I am still admirable.
If I build my worth on how I judge myself, I will keep swinging between pride and shame. Something deeper is needed, a sense of identity grounded not in what I am like, but in who I am.
