Do you think that saying sorry is enough when you hurt someone?

To ay you are sorry is admitting you were wrong. What else can they do to make up for it?? Would you like a monetary compensation?? I think sorry is enough in most cases if its not a really bad thing. Other wise they should suffer the consequnces of their actions. If it something small like they called you a name. Then saying sorry is about all they can do to correct it. They cant go back and change what they did. But you both can move forward and you can accept the apology if they have asked for it. If they are truley sorry they have learned a lesson and will not fo it again.But we should alwys give them a chance to prove themselves. Forgiveness is part of the healing process.

If you have done something you feel is wrong then yes you should say I am sorry. Saying I am sorry shows that you understand that what you did or said was wrong. Many times this is all you can do to try and get the forgiveness of the one you hurt. Once you have said you are sorry show that you are by not making the same mistake again.

i dont think so. i think people need to prove it with actions more.

I personally think that a genuine sincere sorry (if you realise the potential of your action) may be considered. It is really an additional plus if you show it by your honest actions as well. I know friends who will buy you the biggest of I am Sorry Archies card and the next day on engage in the same backbiting as before.

Sorry is not enough for some people because they felt betrayed and as we all know, Trust is hard to earn,once you lose it....its gone forever. Once you say sorry to someone you must show that person that you really mean it.It helps to say "I will do anything you want me to...please forgive me". But saying this means you have to be ready to do whatever she or he wants you to.You also have to pray for that person to make it easier for her or him to forgive you. Goodluck!!!

i thought that sorry is enough for every mistakes. but some one did some thing unfair to me and he said sorry to me.but i couldnt accept it.that day i understood that sorry is not eough for everything.

Sometimes it is all you can do. It may not be enough. But it is a start. And better than nothing. Or worse, not really being sorry.

I guess I cannot add to what you have said... it really doesn't say all with just a single phrase "I AM SORRY" and as we all know... ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER than words and it i simple as it is possibly be but hard to do for most of the people. SIGH... if many would just realize this. :)

It's easy to say sorry to someone but it's hard to tell if you meant it or you're just saying it. I believe that saying sorry and showing remorse will make it better when you hurt someone.
