1. sorry was never synonimous to "i won't do it again".
-my say, i agree. lol
2. when he/she falls out of love, it doesn't mean you're giving less, it's because he/she is asking too much.
- not really. it would always depend on the situation
3.there are no wasted tears, just inconsiderate partners.
- agree 80%
4. bitterness is often the painful consequence of holding on.
- totally agree. lol.
5. forgiveness is different from second chances.
- yes, yes, YES. =)
6. the minute you're thinking of giving up, think of the reason why you're holding on.
-hmmm, there would always come a point that you'll get tired of holding on. coz you're the only one who's fighting to make the relationship work. it takes two to tango.
7. Desire leaves us heartbroken.
-yes, most especially when it concerns about unrequited love.
when it comes to love, the brain really shuts down. (^_^)

I totally disagree with you on #1, but the rest mostly make sense to me.
When my children were little, and they did something that was wrong or displeasing, they would automatically say "I'm sorry" and down the road it would happen again. If you are truely sorry, you will not do it again because you know it is wrong. If you continue with the behavour you are "sorry" for, I do not see how you can be sincere in your apology. "I'm sorry but I'm going to continue to do this anyway" does not sound like an apology to me... You aren't sorry in that instance, you are just placating the person who is offended.

I agree with number one. I don't necessarily agree with number two. I am pretty much the same with you on number three. I agree with number four. I somewhat agree with number 5. I completely agree with your response on number six. Sometimes there's only so long you can stay with someone. It does take two to tango!!! And I somewhat agree with 7...but it depends on the situation. It looks like you and I have similar fews on most of these things!

1) It isn't but if someone says they are sorry it would imply they felt they did something wrong
2)Not at all.You can't help who you fall in love with and vice versa.Time changes everyone.So the person you fell in love with may not be the person they grow to be. The secret is growing together
3)agree
4)agree
5)agree
6)If your thinking of giving up. give it up
7)Not always desire is what gives us hopes and dreams

yeah. not always desire. sometimes, desire can bring frustrations and can lead to negative things if we can't have that certain desire.

I'm going to try and hit all of these in order.
An apology that includes anything but contrition for the act is not an apology. There should be no buts, bargains, defenses or explanations. If you were wrong, admit it and move on.
People fall out of love for all kinds of reasons. People change, they reveal more of themselves over time and it becomes a turn-off, abusive or other selfish tendencies surface, and so on.
I don't know about wasted tears but there are a good number of unecessary ones that are shed over lack of communication.
Bitterness is a counter-productive emotion that prevents moving on.
I'm with Jesus on this one. Forgiving 70x7 goes way beyond second chances. He taught that if it's necessary, forgive 490 times (an arbitrary number He used to convey that forgivness is perpetual and new every day or with every wrong). Sometimes that number will be even higher where certain people are involved.
I think I saved someone's marriage once by telling them that they both needed to take some time while they were separated and figure out what it was that casued one to decide they wished to spend the rest of their life with the other and why the other also thought it would be a good idea at the time. Sometimes we lose track of that and have to be reminded.
Desire leaves us heartbroken? What if you obtain that which you desire? Desire can leave you heartbroken, fulfilled or explaining to the cops why you had the telescope aimed the way you did. In short, desire is a weird thing.
