We have disappointed people we love. We have angered our colleagues. We have hurt people both intentionally and unexpectedly. We have been taught from childhood to say we are sorry in these circumstances. This is my view on the matter: Sorry is never good enough. In many circumstances, a person does not forgive and forget. Assume that nobody will forgive you for the mistakes you make or forget that you made them, lest you become disappointed in learning that you still are not free from your responsibility of mitigation and repair. https://www.micah.soy/posts/on-fate/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.micah.soy/posts/on-fate/ My brother and I had a long-winded discussion tonight on the existence of fate. Like many other concepts, we disagreed. Fate is an event or series of events that will inevitably happen in the future. I do not believe fate exists, but I used to. I used to believe fate exists because of Christianity. According to the Bible, God is omniscient, meaning he is all-knowing. The word ‘all’ encompasses everything, regardless of dimension.
