I’ve been pretty lucky in my life. My only real mistake in this regard was in my relationship as a teenager with one of my sisters but that is well healed now.
A few others have clashed with me in my working life but life is too short to bring these relationships back to neutral ground. Agree to disagree and move on. Not every relationship needs to be or should be fixed.

Indeed, Len, you can’t walk around trying to be loved by all the people all the time. Choose your battles, I say . . . but choose also your battles for your soul.
Personally, when it’s time for me to transition to the next level (go on to heaven), I’d like to do so with no "charges" in my soul. Meaning: from people I should have forgiven or asked for forgiveness in the form of my apology to them . . . sometimes even when my wrong-doing might have been a matter of perspective.
That’s coming from the perspective of "The Grand Perspective: the truly "Big Picture."
