Sorry!!

Surely, you heard before the Sir Elton John and British boy band Blue’s “sorry seems to be the hardest word”. Great song, nice melody and good lyrics. What does it mean by sorry seems to be the hardest word? Is it that hard? Saying “sorry”? Saying Schwarzenegger (Arnold) is harder for some of us, right? Even to spell it! But “sorry”? Is it that tough?

“Sorry seems to be the hardest word”. It’s not the word that is hard but to tag along the meaning of the word is hard; for some people for sure. And why is it so damn hard? Is it that difficult to express or say that you’re “sorry”?

Ego is the issue here. Hahaha. The ego has landed! Yes, it’s right that nobody can live without ego. Ego is the one that shaped us, to be who you are. Everybody has his or her own. Maybe they want to stand firm, on their decision or action. Fighting for their own right, staying on their answer. “I’m a man of my words” some would say. But “sorry”? Is it by saying “sorry”, that your ego will fly away? That you are no longer a man? Says who? And some even thought that once you apologize, you are defeated! Again, says who? The same goes to the ladies. This kind of mindset has need to be change my friend. I am not saying that say sorry for whatever happens. What I do mean is once you feel that you’re not on the right side (not saying you’re wrong eh), do feel and say sorry. By saying “sorry” doesn’t always mean that you’re wrong, maybe you’re showing your respect; to the elders for example. People wont call you sissy if you apologize. People who aren’t saying are the one! “Sorry” even could make one’s anger subsided. So, say it, before it’s too late!!

And don’t say it just for the sake of saying it. If you don’t mean it, better not! I remember a dialog from a sitcom I previously watched, saying, “you don’t have to feel sorry to say sorry”. Hahahaha. My personal advice, don’t do that. Unless you have a really good reason for that!

Going to the extent of further front, the situation where saying “sorry” has been the staple from your mouth. Again, not good. So what am I saying here? Some would question me, “What you mean by that? Earlier you urge people say sorry and now, once we have no problem to say it, you say no good?” Is it? Nope? The key point here is ‘say it but not too much’. What would happen if it too easy to say sorry? Whatever happens, sorry. ‘Oh, its my mistakes, sorry’. Even for wrong doings. ‘Why do you beat him? -> It’s my fault, sorry’. Too easy. My point is it’s not a good practice once it became your staple word. Why? Because once it is too easy to say “sorry”, people will have no problem to make mistakes. They tend to repeat them again and again, and why is that happening? Because saying “sorry” isn’t that hard anymore, regardless by their mean or not. I’m so sorry for your “sorry”. Later maybe Sir Elton can remake the song with ‘sorry seems to be the easiest word’.

Hahahaha.

Sorry?
