In our effort of a picture
perfect life we often encounter with this five letter magic word sorry. Our
reaction to the word varies to the mood we are into or the repercussion caused
by the mistake. We are angry, ruthless, disappointed and in the rarest
condition forgiving at the person who did the mistake. The intent of sorry is
to express the regret of not matching the set expectations. It is in real the courtesy
shown by the delinquent after going astray. It is tragic that we return the
courtesy in most times in an unfair way. Although this magic word is exchanged
from both ends howbeit we dismiss it like platitude when it is excerpted by
others without realizing our frequency of usage.
Sorry has now a day become an
indispensable tool in dealing with our life. It is true that we are human not
flawless machines and so mistakes are prone to ensue. The aspect to keep in
mind is that when we say sorry the intent should remain afore said. We should
be honest with ourselves and mean it. Sorry is an expression of trust and not
an excuse and so we should never misuse it.
Sometimes sorry cannot redeem the disturbance caused in both tangible
and intangible form and so we should never take it as granted. Sorry is an
attempt of redemption. We should therefore never retreat it. When others
mistake this courteous gesture as a cloak to cover the irresponsible actions,
it is not our fault but the misfortune of the others.
In a super hit movie the
protagonist says that to do a mistake is easy, getting angry at others over a
mistake is also easy but to apologize by accepting our mistakes requires a lot
of courage. That is really true and such an effort does not go in vain. We do
receive forgiveness for our slipup.
