It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to
know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve
judged roughly, said __1__ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a
friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and __2__ that you
were sorry. A bit frightening, isn't it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in
us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral
feeling is __3__, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and
__4__ is expressed. I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came
to him with a variety of signs:headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No __5__
cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, "Unless you tell me
what’s worrying you, I can’t help you." After some hesitation, the man __6__
that, as executor of his faher’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who
lived abroad, of his __7__. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man
write to his brother asking __8__ and enclosing a cheque as the first stePin
restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the
corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. "Thank you," He
said, "I think I’m __9__." And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only __10__ a
damaged relationshiPbut also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who
deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do
something about it right now.
