Quote by Doug Horton

Being sorry is the highest act of selfishness, seeing value only after discarding it.

Being sorry is the highest act of selfishness, seeing value

Summary

This quote suggests that saying sorry is selfish because it often comes after we have already discarded or disregarded the value of something or someone. It implies that by apologizing, we are showing regret only when we realize the importance or worth of what we have lost. It hints at the idea that true understanding and consideration should come before any need for apology, rather than as an afterthought.
