i'm sorry. does that even mean anything anymore? "i'm sorry." it's something you say when you made a bad. but what does it mean? does it mean you regret your action? does it mean that you wish you had never done it? does it mean that you won't do it again? does it mean that all should be forgiven because you are sorry? the answer to most of those questions is no. an action is done. and you can't erase it. course it's trickier if you hurt someone, and then you might be truly sorry, but what does that do? absolutely nothing. a sincere sorry should just be a gift. no one has to accept it. but the thought is nice.



most importantly, a "sorry" shouldn't be a demand for forgiveness. sure, in some instances, there's not much else you can do besides say you're sorry. but at a certain level, sorries don't mean shit. "i'm sorry i hurt you, but i would of done it anyway, because it's just me." or "i'm sorry but i can't promise that i won't do it again." is an "i'm sorry" just an acknowledgement of error? if that's the case, then i'm okay with "sorries." but anything beyond that, and i would have to start questioning the real purpose behind "i'm sorry". is it just like saying "hi" when you see someone? i should probably try not to use "sorry" as a reflex, but more as it was intended.



how many things/actions are you really truly sorry for? sorry in the way that you would try to change the action the next time around?
