The way is clear and simple when you can accept yourself as you are and as you are not. If you have hurt another person (and who has not?) own your behavior. Make what amends you can, offer your failings to God, and move forward with a sincere resolve to live from the honesty of your heart.
A simple I'm sorry may be the only healing needed, although an apology is meaningless unless it is heartfelt; otherwise, you are likely to repeat the same hurtful behaviors. Real change happens in the heart. When you realize how much someone can be hurt by your words or tone of voice, you naturally refrain from deliberate sarcasm, insults, and anger, as well as hurtful lies, deceits, and unkind actions.
