About This Quote
“Some people live life asking for forgiveness instead of permission” is a cute and very true statement. The meaning is that some people ask for forgiveness, as if they were doing something wrong, when they really weren’t. For example, when I do something harmful to the world, I feel terrible and regretful about it. But I don’t think about asking for forgiveness. I’m just glad that the world wasn’t destroyed and I was able to fix it in some way.
