I think if they don't accept your sincere apology what you do is this. You stalk them and FORCE them to acknowledge your apology by intimidation and fear. (that means bitch slapping them around) Then, after they accept you as their lord and master, all your trouble is over.

Talion,
I try not to either, but sometimes we hurt others unintentionally. Yet, if your sincere apology is refused, there is nothing left but to forgive them and move on.

Hi Quirky. Tough times,eh? We can't control others.
Sometimes they need to stew for personal reasons. I have one person who I have had a hard time forgiving, because they expect me too forgive without them acknowledging there is anything to forgive. Walk on. Walk on. Head high.
You know who you are.

I never go out of my way to offend or make enemies, but alas, sometimes I do. When that happens, and no apology will make it right, I move on. Why bother? How much is it worth in the end?

Hi Sue,
Nice to see you. Time alone doesn't necessarily change a situation, you need conscious intent and right action. Hope u r well today.

David S,
you are very sweet, thank you for your kind and complimentary words. And you are so right about most people not being able to understand those concepts. But that's okay, because the few who do, I hold close to my heart.

Quirky is a very smart and bright lady
You are. MOST of the folks on blogit won't understand
you when you say things like "it's about them", "it's their issue"
"Forgiveness is about forgiving yourself"
At least I have come to figure that out
NOW Ghee Ghee should be here touting what I've just said
because she would agree with me and in turn, you
You are also a helluva writer as well
THANKS F0R EVERYTHING
David

Quirky . . .
Not much I can add here.
Some people need to grow up and walk away from the emotional toybox. The hell with them.
Keep doing what you do best.

shadow,
it doesn't matter what the other person does, you find the forgiveness for
yourself, not the other person
. If they want to hold the grudge, then that is their issue.

Quirk,
Yeah I will agree that when you offer sincere apologies and receive a cold shoulder then there is very little else to do, but forgive and forget, and hope they do the same someday. shadow

Hmmm... I may have to think about all that for a few moments! But seriously
that's all that really matters in one's heart because it is harder for one to harbor negative energy than the one dishing it out; that's all the truth. Yes, let it go...as it is only more of an unnecessary burden to the receiver. Just as you stated, "...like a baby needs a pacifier and a child needs a blankie, these people just really need to hang onto their anger." VERY true.
Oh, but one little insy winsy little fact... it helps when one has a friend who happens to be a witch...hehe....we look out for our pals and payback's a bitch. heee heeeeeee heeeeeeeee!!!

I agree it is often hard to forgive. But in this virtual world, the knuckle sandwhich seems highly ineffective.

This is one of those truths that I believe...
but am not enlightened enough to practice in all situations...sometimes a knuckle sandwich seems so much more appropriate.
