If u hurt someone in the past do that person have the right to offend you in the present?

Question

knowing that u apologized to that person....

Answer 1

No, but sometimes when they havnt forgiven you it can be hard for them to be nice to you. Just because you apologised doesnt mean they have to forgive and forget. They dont have to like you but should just avoid you if they cant be nice.

Answer 2

Not really.  I think the person needs to sort out their own feelings on the matter if they have had the apology.  They need to forgive the other person and get on with life.

Answer 3

the right?

no, but many, many people behave this way.

Answer 4

I do not wound what I cannot kill.

Answer 5

Karma.

You can't control their actions.

You shouldn't have hurt them if you didn't think their were going to be consequences to pay for your actions.

But no it doesn't give them the right.

They are just being stupid.

Answer 6

Two wrongs don't make a right, Get over it, life goes on!

Answer 7

No one ever has the "right" to offend someone, whether you've offended them, whether you appologized for that offense, whatever.  Absolutely not.  If someone says they forgive you, the situation is supposed to be squashed.

Answer 8

Some folks never forgive and never forget, guess you picked the wrong person to hurt.  Suck it up baby doll and take the hit, you know you deserve, apology or not.

Answer 9

I think its absolutely wrong for someone to offend you for something you did a while ago but like a couple other people said they may feel that it justifies them. But I don't think they have forgiven you yet. I would talk to them and say, i'm am really sorry for....i feel that you are still offended by what i did and i would like to make it up to you is there anything i can do? See if that helps them forgive you?

Answer 10

An apology is all nice fluffy c**p and doesnt make up for anything you had it coming.

Answer 11

its never ok to purposly hurt anyone

Answer 12

he/she may not have the "right" but may feel justified in doing so, even after you apologized.  talk to the person you wronged and see if you can work it out.

good luck!

Answer 13

That's called karma. It happens.

Answer 14

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind (Ghandi).

If that person offends you it makes them no better than you who originally offended them.

Answer 15

No, I  dont think so, what happened in the past live it in the past.

Answer 16

Nobody has 'the right' to hurt anyone.However, we are all human and if deeply hurt by someone many people cannot forgive and forget.  Accepting an apology means the other person believes you NOW feel sorry for what you did but does not necessarily mean the person offended forgives you the actual action.  If someone accepts your apology and also says they forgive you that is entirely different and if after saying that they don't forgive they are just being hypocritical. I don't think two wrongs make a right but has the person who was at fault in the first place really any just arguement if this happens?

Answer 17

nope!

that's childish!
