Long Rant: "Sorry"



"I'm sorry."

To some people, it may mean nothing. But to some, it means alot. In my point of view, I think saying "sorry", is useless. It's just a word, isn't it? I know, I too say sorry, but I wouldn't mind if the person didn't forgive me. They have the right to be mad at me. They have the right to be pissed. Because to be honest, what can a single word do? Can it mend what happened? No.

For example, I want you to get a pair of scissors, a pen, and a piece of paper. Done? Now write something on the front part of the page, it doesn't matter how long or how big, just write something on the front part. Done? Now cut that piece of paper into shreds. Done? Okay, now say sorry to that piece of paper. Finished? Okay, did something happen? Did that piece of paper stick itself back into a whole piece of paper again? It didn't, right? Just what I thought.

Some scars may fade, but the memory and mark of you will always remain. 

People like to say, "If God can forgive, why can't you?", is like saying, "If she can be a doctor, why can't you?". I'm not saying it's not possible, what I'm trying to say is, it takes time. What do you expect? "Oooooh, abracadabra, motherfuckers, I'm a surgeon! Beep beep, watch me as I scissor that person's intestines out!". It's nearly the same thing when it comes to forgiving people. It's not as easy as it looks, the pain is still there. The memories. The marks. We need to learn that things always can't be shown through words, but people also need to show them through acts as well.

Still have that piece of paper you cut earlier? Try taping it back. Did it mend, even just a bit? See my point? Saying you're sorry is better when you show it through your actions rather than your words. Now, after taping that piece of paper back, take your pen again, and write something on the back part of that piece of paper. Is it clear? Were you able to write properly? Basically.

Once your relationship with someone is ruined, the mutual feeling can never be the same again.

Just my point. Say sorry when you mean it, show it not only through words, but express them through actions.

I'm sorry if I wasted your time. I'm done. You may now move on with your lives.
