If I'm sorry could fix everything, I'm sure we'd still be in the garden of eden by now😌
Nevermind that, but does "I'm sorry" really fix everything?
Imagine a slap on the face and a subtle "I'm sorry" follows, does that take the pain away?
Or it's someone stepping on your toes amidst the crowd and saying sorry after. That's very polite, I agree; but does it take the pain away?
Okay, I'm not disputing the fact that "I'm sorry" has a solid mention when the talk about the three magic comes up — it's definitely a magic word.
In a marriage setting, the husband hits the wife and then go ahead to say; "I'm sorry honey, it was a mistake. It will never happen again"
But then it happens again, and again, and again!
And he keeps saying sorry like it's meant to take it all away.
Imagine my friend hurts me. In a really bad way. Not the assault kind. Imagine my heart got broken and all the different shades of it that comes to mind, and then I get the subtle "I'm sorry" and then he goes ahead to think, that has fixed everything.
Just because you said sorry doesn't mean you brought the heaven down to earth. It's a first step to acknowledging a wrong, but that doesn't make it all go away.
It takes a lot of making up — a kind of assurance that you'd never do the same thing to ever hurt them again.
So fix up.
That ego saying the I'm sorry for you doesn't always cut it.
How about never doing the same thing you said sorry for, ever again?
That's makes the gesture worth it.
The mere "I'm sorry" was all it took before — when you knew the sorry Daniel said to Beatrice was sincere. That he said it because he knew he was wrong, not because he wants peace to reign and then go ahead with the repeat of the same action.
But, this present generation that we are?
It doesn't cut it — the “I'm sorry” that should, doesn't cut it.
Some even cry, screams the “I'm sorry” But deep down, they don't mean it. They just want a free pass out of the consequences of the wrong thing they have done.
But, am I saying we should stop?
No.
I am only saying we should "mean" it.
Don't say sorry for hitting me and go ahead to hit me again.
Except not trying to hit me in the first place; say sorry and never raise your hands up for the same action again.
And if you can't mean it,
then don't throw the word around!
