Think of all the times people have done you wrong. Hurting you for their selfish reasons, ignoring you, not caring about your feelings, never asking for your opinions, preferring other people over you, not being there for you when you have done everything under the sun for them, etc.
You could write many endless novels if you were to start. You have had people in your life who have messed you up pretty bad. Maybe they are long gone, or perhaps you still have them in your life. They could be lovers, exes, friends, colleagues, or anyone really.
Now think of all the times that you have done people wrong. You are probably not a saint (unless you are). People make mistakes all the time. People hurt others all the time, intentionally or unintentionally.
You may never know how many people still sit down and think of the time you ruined their self-esteem, were rude to them, did something mean to them, never showed up for them when they needed you, said bad things about them, and someone told them about it, etc.
There could be someone (or more) who can count the wrongs you have done them the same way you can sit down and count the wrongs others have done you. We are all human. We do and say things that we regret and wish to take back.
When you wrong someone else, apologize and make up for it. You don't know how deep the knife cut them and what else they were struggling with before you added on to it. Be sorry, learn the lesson, forgive yourself, and move on.
There's so much wrong with our world. And we can only fix it with love, kindness, empathy, and compassion towards one another. Read through our collection of 'wrong quotes' to get inspired!
