Sorry is not just a penitent statement, it has always been more than that

Sorry sounds effortless when we hear it from someone but it takes all the efforts and seems extremely difficult when we need to say it to someone else. Isn’t it? From childhood to adulthood, we all must have heard or said this five-letter word so many times. Sorry is not just a five-letter word, it is actually a complete statement, and according to me, the sorry word is used when we do something inadvertently not when we do something deliberately. 

But nowadays, I believe that people just use this word as a formality rather than a genuine apology, like it has become a routine for them to use sorry as an apologizing statement without even knowing the actual meaning of this word.

Sorry is not just a penitent statement, it has always been more than that


Sorry doesn’t mean anything unless you mean it; unless you say it from your very heart

For more emphasis on the above statement, I would like to draw your attention towards a movie called ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, you all must have seen the movie and if not then you ought to (it’s my personal opinion though), so there was a scene in that movie where Imraan (Farhan Akhtar) apologizes to Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) and in reply Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) says ‘Say sorry when you really mean it, say it when you’re saying from your heart’. Afterwards, the Imraan (Farhan Akhtar) somehow realizes his mistake and apologizes again with genuity in his voice and cries. 

The point to recall that scene was just to make you all understand that an apology is an innate reaction to any mistake but what is the point of an apology if it does not sound meaningful if it does not sound genuine. There is surely no point, right?

Sorry is not just a penitent statement, it has always been more than that


Saying sorry is important, more important than you ever think

‘To err is human’, man is nothing but just a puppet of errors, and no doubt that we as a human make mistakes and nothing is wrong in that but what wrong is placing the blame of our mistakes on someone else. What takes courage is accepting your mistakes, taking blames of your mistakes on your own shoulder, and many of us fail here. Nobody is perfect, everybody makes mistakes, but when you say sorry, you must mean it. 

Learning to apologize is the second thing, first is accepting your mistakes, admitting it and then apologizing for it with the genuity in your tone. It is important to say sorry because it heals you emotionally, when a wrongdoer apologizes for its mistake it makes him/her more powerful, it gives him/her more courage. Saying sorry helps the wrongdoer to forget the past and move ahead, you cannot undo what has been done but it can surely re-build your own personality, it can surely help you to become a better person than you are right now. 

Sorry is not just a penitent statement, it has always been more than that
Apologize when you mean it because this is where modesty comes in. Sometimes all we need is time to heal the wounds, sorry cannot heal the wound, but it has an aptness to lessen your pain. So take out time come forward and say ‘SORRY’. Because sorry is not just a penitent statement, it has always been more than that.
