A True apology begins with...

Because a True apology comes from a place of recognition of an error/mistake made on your part, acknowledgment of the error is the first step. The word error/mistake is appropriate here considering, first the recognition of its existence then the need for its correction not punishment.

Poor choices are most effectively prevented and avoided by being reminded of Truth. Because Truth never changes, there is nothing new to learn and so Truth is not taught but instead reminded of what is already known, just forgotten! 

Because Truth brings Peace, only those willing to accept Truth (for what it is and not what it should, could or would be) are the ones that experience Peace. To accept and/or acknowledge Truth is the first step toward Peace.

With Peace being the ultimate goal, the experience of Peace comes only by correcting the error.  Because LOVE is the solution to ALL error, Truth, the gift of LOVE, sheds light on what ego schemes up in the dark (otherwise known as LIES) then presents as Truth to anyone willing to believe what seems True yet causes nothing but pain and suffering.  

Because only LOVE is Real, a True apology begins with I am sorry that... and never I'm sorry if. Recognition of the error is the first step. Apologizing for the choice made confirms its acknowledgement and taking responsibility for its need of correction (by simply not doing it again) is where Peace is reestablished. 

Although a True apology includes the request for forgiveness, because Truth is what it is, it needs nothing included forgiveness - which by the way is for the benefit and release of the offended and contrary to popular belief, not the offender. Any/all residual pain and suffering comes from ego which lives in the Past. Healing is in the Now, this moment so choose to stay Present to experience the release of guilt's burden in exchange for the freedom Truth offers. Truth must be accepted to enjoy its effectiveness which is always Peace. 

Whenever LOVE is the guiding force, Peace is the guaranteed end result precisely because nothing Real can be threatened and only LOVE is Real. Peace

Truth applies to one and ALL or not at all!

Because Truth does not change (ever), it stands the test of Time. Lies are passed off as Truth and succeeds only when Truth has been forgotten. Because Truth does not change (ever), it is not taught. What can be taught that is innate? 

On the contrary, Truth is recognized when acceptance of what is, is the choice consciously made by You. Lies are seen for what they really are only in ego's absence considering ego' s sole purpose is to start and maintain drama. How else is this done but with lies?

Truth is the path to Peace, because it is not selective but ALL inclusive and makes no exceptions. However because Truth never imposes itself, it must be first recognized then accepted in order to experience its results - always Peace.

In spite of what ego has convinced too many, Truth does not hurt. As a matter of fact, Truth does quite the opposite! Because Truth and LOVE go "hand in hand" so to speak, you can't have one without the other. Because only LOVE heals what lies intends to destroy, Truth is the one and only solution because the foundation Truth stands on is timeless and priceless. 

This foundation is called LOVE and what You've forgotten about Truth is You are LOVE. LOVE, BEing PERFECT, requires nothing. LOVE is the foundation Truth stands on because only LOVE is Real. LOVE is found in Truth only.

Remember this. Remind others of this. And You will experience Peace. Peace

It's not THE answer but we could use more of it in the mean time!

Tolerance - a permissible difference (one that is accepted or conceded). Although tolerance is a step  in the direction toward the solution, it, itself is not the solution. As long as there is a difference, the solution has not been found. 

Because WE, man kind, have forgotten who we Really are, we've been tricked (by ego) into believing we are the labels we wear so proudly! Because these labels are not assigned until after conception (at the earliest) their meaning has no Real value when it comes to Life itself. This issue becomes a problem when labels are accepted and assumed as a personal form of identity and the priceless value of Life itself is disregarded. To be willing to kill and/or die for any label is a clear indication the mind is confused,  considering nothing or no one can add to the value of Life, it is priceless. 

Unless and until labels, ex., race, nationality, religion, sexuality, political party, etc., are seen for what they Really are (distractions), they will continue to cause conflict and drama. Unless and until ego continues to run the show, tolerance is as good as it going to get. However, considering ego always looks out for itself first and foremost, the solution has yet to be found because ego is not permitted beyond the point of Truth, where the solution is and  has always been!

The solution is Peace and because only LOVE is what brings Peace, ego is not part of the equation. Ego is the problem! It is ego that will go only as far as tolerance will take it before matters have gone too far and the "bridge" to Peace collapses. This happens because its foundation is built on lies and so collapses in the Presence of Truth.

Choose to remember Who You Really are, LOVE, so all of what is tolerated will be seen for the nothingness it Really is. Tolerance understands and accepts differences because tolerance is part of the world of illusion (lies). Truth is only LOVE knows Truth and in Reality there are no differences,  only LOVE. Peace.
