Current Events > "Don't ask for permission. Ask for forgiveness."

(+) Yeah! (+)

How do you feel about this mantra?

I'm a bit more on the permission side. There's a guy at work that's full forgiveness and I kinda fucking hate him for it tbh lol

Meh. Why worry about either?

The phrase goes "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" which is generally true. Obviously sometimes that mentality will get someone shot or arrested so common sense should apply.

I mix it up. I can be a bit selfish at times which I'm ok with.

Depends on what the situation is.

I'm not gonna go fuck around on my fiance and say oops.

Honestly as a person who is often giving permission, I wish my people were more of the forgiveness type. Sometimes it feels like they force me to micromanage them

Totally situational. Sometimes you gotta take the leap if you know you understand a certain situation in a way no one else does.
