Saying sorry is one thing, and meaning it is another.

It's not enough to just say sorry when you don't actually mean it or use it when you actually offend people on purpose.

The dictionary meaning of sorry is:

A state or feeling of regret or penitence.
Feeling sad or in a pitiful state.

WHY DO PEOPLE FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SAY SORRY?

It's obviously eminent in most individuals to find it expediently difficult to say the phrase"I AM SORRY"... Why so??

• Pride

• Ego

• Temperament

• frustration

Now, the list above are seemingly very familiar reasons why people find it hard to say sorry. Most of them just tell you it's in their DNA. But I wish to disagree, saying sorry is an act that could be learned, practiced and even taught.

Saying sorry, expresses LOVE, it expresses SUBMISSION, it expresses HUMILITY, it expresses PEACE.

The aura that comes with SORRY is CALMNESS and all it could have taken for a criminal to escape life time in jail was a simple "I am sorry and I plead guilty"...

All it could have taken for a relationship to survive breaking up was a simple "I am sorry"...

All it could have taken to end a war, was a simple" I am sorry"....

In as much as the sorry word heals wounds, stop fights and mend broken hearts, it can also be abused.

HOW DO PEOPLE ABUSE THE WORD "SORRY"?

So being sorry should actually depict that you really mean it and that you are saying it because you did not intentionally offend the person you are saying it to.

It becomes a taboo, an extra offense, an abuse, a fuel to a dying fire and a salt to injury when you say it for saying sake and do not really mean it or when you intentionally offended someone.

If you must say it, then you must mean it.

You don't need to let the situation get so bad before you lower your ego and say it.

It pays to be humble and it pays to be submissive.
