which is better, to ask for permission or to ask for forgiveness?

Question

not to my lola ate rod...

Answer 1

Hmmmm..... Seems your additional details rule out prior permission being given (by your Lola).

Therefore, violation would be clear if indeed you asked permission and it was not granted, and still you went ahead and did it anyway.

To make the violation vague, there seems no recourse other than do the thing, and ask forgiveness (when found out) later. This way leaves the door open for claiming "You did not tell me NOT to", whereas if you did ask permission, and denied, that door is closed.

Now, should you be discovered, and captured, the Grouch shall disavow any knowledge of this Answer.

Answer 2

I presume that it is better to ask permission so as not to require the forgiveness. But if you did something without asking permission first and offended a loved one or friend, it would be better to ask for forgiveness before asking for anything else at that point.

Answer 3

I agree with SG. If permission is required, please do it. At least, you will not hide anything. If the permission was turned down, abide by it please. You will be frustrated/disappointed but at least you did the right thing. The same goes with forgiveness. Ask for it when you did something wrong. It's the best way also to patch up things.

Answer 4

It will depend on the situation; but, it is always good to ask for permission when needed and to ask for forgiveness when at fault.

Answer 5

I think this depends on one's age. As adults we do not have to ask permission as much as we did when we were young. As adults, we more often have to ask forgiveness which, to me, is sometimes a very hard, but wonderful thing to do.

Answer 6

That's two different animals. One is cow, the other is carabao. Check the dictionary for the meanings of those words.

You ask permission to elope. Parents didn't permit, yet you continue eloping. Week later, you come back home. Now you ask for forgiveness from your parents for so doing.

Answer 7

i think to ask permission is better that way they know where you're going and not try to worry about you. (personally i just try to sneak out of the house). and there's no trouble with your parents.

Answer 8
