Can you imagine what will happen in the absence of the word sorry or its synonymous terms? Will their be forgiveness? Humbling down? or lasting relationships?

If we don't know how to apologize by saying sorry...then all of us are not in peace...there will be bitterness. There's pride in not saying sorry, if we are full of pride then I think all of us are trouble makers instead of peacemakers. I just can't imagine not saying sorry to the one I offended or accepting sorry for other person. And the most important of all is saying sorry to God is going to be a big failure in life. We are all eternally damned! Because there will be no forgiveness from Him if we don't repent.

Hello becdmd, Yes your right. To forgive is to be forgiven. To ask sorry for things we know our fault is a humble act that is priceless.

"Sorry" is one of the magic words which should not be forgotten in our relationship with other people.A person who doesn't know how to say it is full of pride, doesn't want to go down or humble himself, and doesn't recognize his mistakes.This is also a medicine to heal or alleviate the pain of a wounded heart.Once it is practiced or become part of your values system, then it will contribute in building a good and refined character in you.I easily forgive once someone says this magic word to me especially when he's sincere for I for one also commits mistakes and I have also imperfections.

Hi bren_yrra I agree with you. It is a sign of humility done by reason of pure love and true intention.

In the absence of the word "sorry", man feel find another way of apologising.We cannot do without making mistakes and later making up for it.So a replacement for apologies must be there.So we will have to think of something that effectively bridges the gap.

Sorry is the most important word when you admit that you made a mistake. :-) This simple word can chase away the pain in an instant. (For me, anyway :-) )

Its a good thing that there is such a word. But it would'nt be much of a significance without really intending to be "Sorry". Only if people can understand first before reacting, rather than the other way around, clearly the word sorry might not be verbalized. What is to sorry when one has undertood something. Still even the word itself will have its true meaning when it came from the heart (as they say it). We say sorry everyday, whether someone else or to ourselves. But sorry is not the only factor that would affect a lasting relationship, it may also be "hello", or "1 4 3", or any other words so long that it was said whole heartedly then such words will shine as bright as the sun to be reflected on the person who heard it.
