The word sorry can easily pass for one of the top 10 most misused word.
This two-syllable word is so unique yet abused.
You abuse the word sorry when;
-You still plan on doing the same thing you just claimed to be sorry about .
-You say it because that’s what they want to hear but deep down you know you are not sorry for nada.
-You say it and then proceed to blame the person for the 99 things they did wrong.
-You wait until you have satisfied your ego, trampled on the emotions of the offended repeatedly in spite of their many complaints and then suddenly like a lion you arise when you feel like saying it and like a bombshell you drop the word ‘sorry’ and expect them like a hungry dog to grab the precious word and lick your feet.
-You say you are sorry and then twist the whole matter till the offendee becomes the offender. (This is my former table 
)
-You know that you have messed up but saying sorry is the last thing you will do. What happened to buying shawarma and Hollandia yogurt on the way home? That is manipulative. Nothing is wrong with buying stuff to show how sorry you are, but it should never replace the habit of admitting you were wrong and being sorry. (This table mostly belongs to the gender that betrayed Jesus
)
In conclusion, Sorry is a powerful word. However, there is a time to say sorry, there is a way to say it and there is an action that should follow a truly sorry heart. Please get it right.
P.S: ‘Sorry’ is different from “I am sorry”
Happy New Month Blessed People. May the Lord keep us and satisfy us with good things for the rest of this year and beyond.
