According to Chanakya, true strength lies in humility. When you admit a mistake and apologize, it doesn't show weakness, but maturity and seriousness about the relationship.
Chanakya also stated that the process of apologizing should be wise. If you are not at fault, apologizing can damage your respect.
Apologizing doesn't mean belittling yourself, but trying to improve the relationship in a balanced and proper way.
Chanakya emphasized timing. If you apologize in anger or stress, it won't seem genuine. Apologize when both parties are calm.
Chanakya always stressed deep understanding and empathy. Try to understand their feelings and pain before apologizing.
Chanakya said don't expect every apology to be accepted immediately. The purpose is not just to resolve the conflict, but to start a new conversation. Be patient.
Self-reflection is the foundation of apology. Before apologizing, understand and correct your mistakes. Identifying and avoiding them strengthens you.
