I find this is hard for me I do it out of habit - its instilled as a nurturing guesture. Then I go sorry - so much so that last time I sat down with my friend and discussed it as I felt sooooooooooo bad.
The response given was that I guess simply put, that I had not brought to bear any sacred compromise as I am not Balinese and, that it would be a very different story if a family Balinese Member had done so. Still I feel bad.
Then my POM is left handed, my Sister is left handed and the story gets worse. None of us intentionally mean to be disrespectful and that was the core of the acceptability that I gained as well.
? any thoughts.
