So many of us hold on to little resentments that may have stemmed from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle (重新激起) a friendship or family relationship.
An acquaintance of mine whose health isn’t very good recently told me that she hasn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. "Why not?" I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, "I can’t do that He’s the one who should apologize." She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own.
As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, he wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger we turn "small stuff’ into really "big stuff" in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go and reach out Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go as well as the joy of letting others be right. You’ll also notice that as you reach out and let others be "right" they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t that’s okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself. [br] Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?
选项
A、People believe that they are always right
B、People always wait for others to offer an apology first
C、People consider the position more important than happiness.
D、People want to get an inner satisfaction.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。选项D中的get an inner satisfaction是人们主动讲和的原因,从最后一段最后一句也能得到佐证。文中虽没有明确指出选项A和B是人们不愿主动道歉的原因,但从作者朋友的例子可以推断出这两个原因。最后一段第3句指明选项C也是其原因。
