Sorry


  • 5 letters. Such a small word for a word that can encompass so much. Everyone makes mistakes. They are life lessons. Nobody is perfect. As the quote says, "To err is human, to forgive divine." I'm a firm believer in the power of forgiveness. When someone is truly sorry, they have learned from their mistake. They make the changes necessary not to do the same wrong thing again. The hurt and pain caused to others has an opportunity to heal.

  • Sorry can mean so much. Many times it can just be thrown out as a band aid. But the wound never really heals. Usually because that apology wasn't really meant. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of a broken record sorry. That's the apology that is given over and over for the same thing. That person keeps forgiving only to have the same thing repeatedly happen. That wound will never get an opportunity to heal. Only get deeper and hurt more.

  • When you say sorry do you mean it? Do the wounds you inflict onto others heal or leave permanent scars?
