"Sorry to buy forgiveness" I totaly saw that too. "I'm a horrible person" = guilt, your sense of self is altered. Soul wound. "I feel sad" = true apology. Actions are not confused with your being. 😍 10 billion likes 👍
@5:39 "You know, the way I talked to you, I feel really sad. It doesn't meet my need for respecting you and understanding you." I felt that statement preserves self-dignity while acknowledging discomfort. I think it would prefer to hear the "giraffe" mourning than to hear the cheap "jackal" apology that you're a bad person.
Much as I appreciate this, it's still hard for me to wrap my head around. There's no such thing as a bad person? There's no such thing as doing anything wrong? It's very baffling, and actually quite shocking when one applies it to serious crimes, such as murder, rape, torture, and genocide. The idea that these things are not wrong is shocking and bewildering to almost everyone. Then again, if nothing is wrong, can you even really call them "crimes"?
I'm fairly young, I never expected to learn so much from just one book, this is world changing
