Sorry is just another word!
How many times do you say sorry just to wriggle out of a situation? To save yourself from the prolonged drama? Haven’t you ever apologised only to bring the situation under control, even though you are not really apologetic from within? We all do that, but is it really the right thing to do?
We’ve become so attached to the word ‘Sorry’ that we just can’t do without ‘Sorry’. We are absolutely convinced that saying SORRY can mend everything, restore things back to how they were, fix broken hearts, and cure hurt souls. We think that a simple sorry can make up for almost everything. But, the fact is that Sorry is just another word. It is not a magical word, sorry doesn’t always help. Sorry is not an instant fix. It’s just a damn word. Some things can’t be fixed with just a sorry. Your actions need to speak; your actions need to express the regret.
Don’t run away from owning up to something that you have done terribly wrong. Accept the responsibility for your own actions for every action has a reaction and you must be prepared to accept every reaction that comes along with your action.
Be unapologetic when you think you’re right, stand up for yourself. Your personal opinions need no sorry-warrants. Stop apologising for expressing yourself or being who you are and similarly, don’t expect a sorry from others always. Of all the people, you must understand. Don’t rely on their words, see through their actions. Let their actions convince you that they feel apologetic!
Don’t overdose yourself and others with your sorry pill. Own up to your actions, stop blaming the universe or others for it. This will make your life easier, believe me! Let things blow out of proportion, let them lose their cool but don’t take responsibility of something that you’ve not done. Don’t apologise for something that not in your control.
Keep your arsenal of apologises to yourself when you feel nothing from within. Don’t deceive others; don’t play with their emotions simply to wriggle out of a tensed situation. Let your action do the talking!
It’s time to stop obsessing over the word ‘sorry’.
