Three things you aren't sorry about today...

I am not sorry for opening this thread. I am not sorry for Inviting everyone to have a go at it! I am not sorry for helping people practicing to not say sorry too much!

Idea, a thread were we aren't sorry about hate, ingratitude, being safe, thinking about revenge and acting for fair restoration.

In this thread people are encouraged to practice avoiding saying sorry in a moral and friendly way.

I am not sorry that I stand up for rights about children.

I am not sorry that I spilt the milk, but I will clean it up right now.

Other forms we might take are less about letting go of sorry, and more about using what you are sorry about as motivation.

I make no apologies for feeling hate about what is happening to children in detention centres and I'm going to write a letter about it!

I refuse to be sorry for any one who wears hot red revealing shorts and a boob tube to a funeral and has been told they cannot come inside.

I am not sorry that I said “fair go mate!” when someone elses child hurt my finger.

I am not sorry that I broke up with my abusive partner, so that I can be safer.

I am not sorry that you got drunk because you believe I told my best friend I like the movie One flew over the cuckoos nest, when I’ve previously told you I don’t like it.

I am not sorry for changing my mind, I have new information now and am making a better decision now than back then.

When anger rises, I will not apologise for being angry, because the thing that makes me angry is against the laws of Australia.

Or how about.
I will not be sorry about plotting a morally fair a legal revenge upon my abuser.

I am not sorry for thinking about or wanting to kill someone that I will never meet and have no real intentions of taking action to harm them or anyone else.

I cannot apologise for feeling hateful towards the people who purposefully and wilfully cause direct and severe harm to the elderly.

I’m not sorry for feeling excitement about the potential of this thread not being helpful, because I hope and pray that peoples actions about my inspiration will be entirely helpful!

not sorry for wasting money on silly happy gifts, hemp oil for my big old dogs' legs, a disney furry squishy ball face for my tiny dog, a silly new tea mug for the hubby and black love heart sunglasses for me.

not sorry my boss called in and had to answered the door in a wet full body wetsuit because i was floating in the bath like a happy hippo.

not sorry that life is full of surprises like Forrest Gump's mum said ' life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

i'm not sorry for complaining about bad parts of the service i received in the public health system, even though the other parts were good

i'm not sorry i cant transition easily to new things durng this pandemic, and that i really need a break from pressure now

i'm not sorry that ppl who struggle with MH but won't admit it - that i can't help them. I'm not sorry that they are askign me for something impossible that I cant deliver - to help without helping, to answer without answering, to listen without listening, to just solve things wihtout having an open discussion about them - i'm not sorry to say that is impossible.

I am not sorry thst I stop making excuses for people’s rude behaviour.

I am not sorry that I want life to be without conflict.

I am not sorry for doing what I need to do to stay well.

sleepy I agree with your last sentence.

I am not sorry for telling Eagle that it is meant to be three sorry's.

I am not sorry some people tell other people off because I do it too.

I am not sorry about how the world just is.

I'm not sorry that I didn't go to my friend's funeral on webcast yesterday. I know my limitations of how much more pain I can deal without spiraling at full steam. I am very sorry and feel deeply for any one who's lost a loved one in death.
