Why the word 'Apology' and 'Sorry', to me, both really has a hint of pity and a slightly taste of bitterness? It might be the hardest word to say, but on the other side, it might be the only word someone needs to hear. It has the ability to heal, to fix, to re-construct, even to erase the darkest memory.
Let's talk it rationally, I mean, don't put sincerity on it. Let's just talk about apology.
When two men conflict, none of them will voluntarily plead guilty. None. At least on the very peak of the conflict, no one will. Yet both of them keep hurting each other with words, things that are dangerous than any lethal weapon.
When conflict occurs, both men are guilty. Though it might not in a 50-50 kind of way, but both are responsible to it. But this fact is not easily acceptable. Who would accept to be guilty anyway, huh?
If one of them, in a gentle-man kind of way, consciously asking for apology, things are different. When the word 'sorry' first said, it calms the nerve. It speaks to the heart, the human heart.
Sorry is not the word to loser. No. Sorry is the word to show that we are aware of our acts that somehow hurt somebody. It's a word of responsibility. It's a word of peace.
If, after that, the other part has no sign to reconcile with us, then forget it. At least we're fully responsible to ourselves and brave enough to show it.
Say 'sorry', please..
Better if you put a teaspoon of sincerity in it.
It's for your own sake :)
