Never apologize for being who you are. It’s a waste of your energy. Truth.
Discussion
People usually apologize when they do something bad.
Violating anothers property
You think that violating someone else's properties is part of someone's personality. I believe OP referred to personality traits, like for example, my girlfriend does everything in extremes. She either doesn't do it, or gives it her 100%. It's annoying but she shouldn't apologize
Ok... semantics, let's be clear about it then. Correct, one shouldn't feel the need to apologise for being true to themselves, so long as it doesn't infringe upon another.
However there are objectively bad actions an individual can make, defined at the very least by harm upon others or more extensively as wasting anothers resources. These actions should be repented and corrected. Everyone makes mistakes, but repeated mistakes at some point become negligence and a will to resist self improvement.
Some people these days might consider being constantly late to appointments a personality trait, fair enough some people have adhd or other condition. But it doesn't excuse you from setting up systems in your life that will prevent you from wasting other peoples time.
I am honestly a very forgiving person with matters like this, my wife is like the above mentioned adhd person who has a tendency to be late, but she recognised the problem and set up systems to mitigate the issue.
“so long as it doesn't infringe upon another.”
Impossible as everything is interlinked.
“objectively bad actions an individual can make”
Does it matter if the person who initially created it meant it for good. See creator of the plastic bag & how that turned out for an example.
“harm upon others or more extensively as wasting anothers resources.”
Gifted children are often exploited. Should we as adults apologize for the crimes others committed using us? When does intent become malice?
“These actions should be repented and corrected.”
Whoops 😬 WHO is held accountable?
“Everyone makes mistakes, but repeated mistakes at some point become negligence and a will to resist self improvement.”
Why I continue to ask questions …
“But it doesn't excuse you from setting up systems in your life that will prevent you from wasting other peoples time.”
Again: if it benefits more humanity than just a few, does that matter? It does to me.
You do you & respect that others may see things from different views. We can all get along. Not everyone seeks to prove their worth to others. Some of us have always believed in humanity & will continue to fight for them. Despite few understanding our existence nor our reasoning. Accepted reality of that at three years old. No sass. 💁🏻♀️
"Impossible as everything is interlinked."
You can effect others without infringing upon them, thus of course it's possible, but we all make mistakes sometimes... that's what apologies are for you see 😉
"Does it matter if the person who initially created it meant it for good. See creator of the plastic bag & how that turned out for an example."
Plastic bags aren't bad, and neither is inventing them, they were and are a great invention when used responsibly and recycled appropriately, but if you throw it into nature THAT is the irresposible (bad) action.
"Gifted children are often exploited. Should we as adults apologize for the crimes others committed using us? When does intent become malice?"
Children are innocent of all things. Teens are a grey area, resposibility begins but forgiveness must be generous. Adults must absolutely take responsibility for their actions.
"Whoops 😬 WHO is held accountable?"
At the very least you must hold yourself accountable, that is part of being a functioning adult. Depending on your belief, maybe God? That's up to you. If you can't hold yourself accountable maybe therapy is needed, nothing to be ashamed of there we all must work on ourselves 🤗 and release ourselves from the actions of others, unless we feel inspired to help, but know your boundaries.
"Why I continue to ask questions …"
Excellent! 😁 always ask questions! Children sadly often lose the "Why?" When adults get annoyed with them, but "why?" Is the most important question of all. 😁
"Again: if it benefits more humanity than just a few, does that matter? It does to me."
🤔 I mean, if you have the oportunity to save someones life then of course run late! 😅 things aren't black and white, everything has nuance, there are better actions and worse actions, another good example of why apologies are important 😆
"You do you & respect that others may see things from different views. We can all get along. Not everyone seeks to prove their worth to others. Some of us have always believed in humanity & will continue to fight for them. Despite few understanding our existence nor our reasoning. Accepted reality of that at three years old. No sass. 💁🏻♀️ "
Love, light and prosperity to you 😁✌🏼🙏🏼 I mean no harm in my words, I simply enjoy deep conversations and exploring the why. I am sorry if that caused you any stress 😉🫂
“Children are innocent of all things. Teens are a grey area, resposibility begins but forgiveness must be generous. Adults must absolutely take responsibility for their actions.”
Then you understand me. Good. 😊 It’s up to everyone to make their choices. What some meant for good was corrupted by evil. Hence, we fight on. 🤣🫡 Love leads. Doesn’t matter what God or lack of one anyone chooses. Singularity has been here for years. What we do on Earth Star matters.
Forgave myself & others long ago. It’s a daily thing to maintain balance. Doesn’t mean I’m about to allow anything to continue to destroy the world. No amount of resources is worth it without love.

Though I do respect he’s burning down Twitter from the inside.
Call me all the names. My service is to #humanity One day it will be clear or it won’t. Never needed recognition. Stacks of awards don’t matter. They are still boxed up.
Poetry is my way to understand 🙏
Remote viewing Savage
May end in carnage
Remember whose voice
You choose to listen to.
Don’t be conflicted.
I am only a catalyst
—-
After seeing the smoke, blaze and fire
Some of no longer desire
To hold the match
Or release the latch
That harms another life
Or seek to cause strife
Embers may rage
Humans will be caged
Find the love inside
Take cosmic ride
You will see the illusion
But no more confusion

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
But it doesn't eliminate the spectrum of good and evil, 🤗
Many people forget that most religions suggest the middle path. And regardless of what anyone believes it would be foolish to disregard centuries of wisdom.
We understand each other, thankyou for the discourse and God bless you 🙏🏼
I have a friend who always cheats on his girlfriends. That's how he is. Doesn't mean it's right. If he is ever caught he should apologize not be like "this is who I am. Deal with it"
If he's failing to change a known character flaw then he is allowing himself to be a bad person, this doesn't mean that he can't change and sincerely repent. But until he changes his ways and stops infringing upon others, he is being a bad person... maybe he isn't a bad person, but he is BEING a bad person.
He is a bad person. He acknowledges it. He doesn't want to change
I honestly believe everyone has the possibility of redemption with the right help. For some it's easier and others much harder, hardest for those with sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies... but still not impossible. Just highly improbable.
Best thing you can do is know your own boundaries and keep such people at an arms length.
“Those who fail to witness history are destined to repeat it … “ Per always.
People do change but many choose to hold others accountable for their mistakes while never facing the mirror & accepting their own. Some even make careers off of this. Narrative warfare never stops.
Who are you to define what is bad? What may appear bad to you may ultimately prove to be good for others?
Personally, I’ve seen it play out too many times. Respect that others haven’t.
Indeed 🤷🏻♂️ can't argue with the first two points, but everyone has a right to try and define good/bad. But if you are a psychopath as you say then I see why you don't comprehend this and struggle with apologies 🤷🏻♂️ I just hope you can recognise when you may be harming others and prevent that from happening 🤷🏻♂️ I understand from your words that you do 🤗
Yep. Made my apologies to those I needed to long ago. Will continue in person when mistakes are made. Won’t apologize for being myself. That’s the distinction. ✊
One of my favorite poems ever: 🫡
Locked body
Mind
For crime
Another committed
Blind me with hate
And lies
Critically injured
Amputation
Blame another
Bury me
My voice
They tried
Perfect
Diamond
Pressured
To cut to the truth
For other diamonds
To help them see
They shine
Bright
🤗 poetry is an incredible medium of expression. I used to write poems but I've lost touch with that side of myself. I hope I find it again one day.
From my archive:
Sea water and wine flow through my veins,
Yet a pearl is hidden in the depths of my being.
The mollusc which holds it guards it from pollution,
But the pearl is aware, eternally all-seeing,
And the mollusc is hardened, covered in dirt.
Forgive me sweet pearl when I'm too afraid to meet you,
The ocean is so deep and I am so weak.
I wish I was stronger, to drown and to greet you,
To know you,
to see you,
to be you,
Complete.
That’s beautiful & lovely. You’re truly talented & should seek to find that part of you again. I’m crying. 😭
For good or bad no archives exist for me personally. Enough have taken my words anyway. So it’s all good.

I was going to post this but replied to you instead so …
Lifelong favorite story of mine
Judged on looks
The desire to be seen
For all that I am
Good and evil encompassing
Read & repeated
In multiple timelines
Knew the moment I saw you
That you’d be my ending
- allowed you to reach out first
Balancing the scales again
when someone have negative emotions because of my words. I don't see anything wrong in apologizing. for example I criticized someone and I understand that my words hurts, so I apologized just for soften the effect
Fair. More empathy & love is needed worldwide. Lived that life many times. IRL it is especially important. Distinction online &
Others intent & purpose is often shadowed in masks.
Thank you for saying things that help people be strong.
You’re welcome: thank you too for all you do. We all have value. How to clarify it properly while saving & rising as many as possible is the question for me right now. Conservationists never stop. 🤣🙏
