“Sorry” we all say “Sorry” for the wrong things we say and do. But do we always think about the people we love dearly who we say hurtful things to? I don’t think so because if we had think about it sorry wouldn't have become such a popular word today. Sometimes we say so much and act immature as adult. We didn't take the time to realize how much hurt and pain we put that individual in we never took the time to think of the reaction, the feelings and the consequence that we might have to face if what we do turns out to be a matter of life and death.!!!”

“Jesus Christ did not pay for anyone’s choices. This may be difficult to accept as humans depend upon escapism as a default mechanism for comfort. There is a deep fear in witnessing truth, enlightenment, or awareness that NO MAN, NO WOMAN, and NO GOD can erase your choices. Your actions exist.

What do you do to erase past actions? Rather than erase, consider apologizing. Consider growing up. Consider emotional intelligence. Try behaving like an adult who can say, “I’m sorry I yelled at you. I’m sorry I stole from you. I’m sorry I called you a rapist when you were not a rapist. I’m sorry I was the worst friend to you. I am sorry.”
― Deborah Bravandt

To be honest, I hate me too.”

“A sorry gains value only when our behavior confirms the words

The word sorry can be easy to say, especially when we want an uncomfortable moment to pass quickly.
Still, a quick apology without reflection can become empty.
When our behavior does not change, the same word slowly loses its meaning.
A sincere apology asks more from us.
It asks that we understand what was caused, recognize which responsibility truly belongs to us, and look honestly at what can be repaired.
Sometimes repair is practical.
Sometimes it is emotional.
Sometimes it is simply the promise to act more carefully in the future.
Behavior confirms whether an apology was sincere.
People can accept our words, but they will continue to feel whether those words are later supported by our choices.
That is not distrust; that is how trust is rebuilt.
A sorry gains value when it becomes visible in action.
It is not only a sentence we say after a mistake, but a direction we choose after we have understood what the mistake caused.

“Een sorry krijgt pas waarde wanneer ons gedrag de woorden bevestigt

Het woord sorry kan gemakkelijk worden uitgesproken, vooral wanneer wij willen dat een ongemakkelijk moment snel voorbij is. Toch kan een snelle verontschuldiging zonder reflectie leeg worden. Wanneer ons gedrag niet verandert, verliest hetzelfde woord langzaam zijn betekenis. Een oprechte spijtbetuiging vraagt meer van ons. Zij vraagt dat wij begrijpen wat er is veroorzaakt, herkennen welke verantwoordelijkheid werkelijk bij ons hoort en eerlijk kijken naar wat hersteld kan worden. Soms is herstel praktisch. Soms is het emotioneel. Soms is het eenvoudig de belofte om in de toekomst zorgvuldiger te handelen. Gedrag bevestigt of een verontschuldiging gemeend was. Mensen kunnen onze woorden accepteren, maar zij blijven voelen of die woorden later worden ondersteund door onze keuzes. Dat is geen wantrouwen; dat is hoe vertrouwen opnieuw wordt opgebouwd. Een sorry krijgt waarde wanneer zij zichtbaar wordt in actie. Het is niet alleen een zin die wij na een fout zeggen, maar een richting die wij kiezen nadat wij hebben begrepen wat de fout heeft veroorzaakt.
