Sorry seems to be the hardest word

Sorry does seem to be a word that many people cannot say. And not only they can really say it, but they cannot say it at the absolutely right moments. There are times where people do spit at the word, but it is without meaning. That is the scariest part of it, where the word sorry has just gotten so cheapened where if someone says it, it does defy all belief but that is just the way the winds seem to be blowing in modern society. I think that sorry still does have powerful to start the healing. Now don't get me wrong, it is not an all powering healing thing but there are is just something about have it when said at the right time, with the proper timing where the word "sorry" can really get everything rolling into something that is great and rather wonderful. But saying it at the right time, and saying it at all, really can help in a little bit. But it is not something that is all easy to say, no matter what.

Hmmm... I think it is hard for people with too much pride in their heads. As for me, I am quick to admit to my faults and I don't really find it hard to apologize. I couldn't stand being indifferent with someone, especially if it is someone I am really close to. One thing I'm proud of-- my relationship with my sister. I don't think any of us can stand being angry at each other. We couldn't let 5 minutes pass not making up if we fought. We just couldn't help it. One will absolutely apologize almost as soon as there is silence between us. Not saying sorry is just plain and simply pride. I've got pride but it isn't about admitting my faults. I won't ever let it win over me.

Good day to you dazzledlady, Indeed you have a point on what you have posted. Really saying "sorry" is not as easy as it is especially if the type of person who will say that is govern by his/her pride inside his/her heart. That, no matter how he/she feels sorry for the things he/she did, if his/her mind dictates not to follow the heart, then, it will be hard to really say "im sorry". Thus, we should be thinking wisely, especially if we are the ones who really committed the wrong act, it is only the pride that hinders us, yet, saying sorry will not decrease our dignity rather it will help us to build our self to be real.

Hi dazzledlady, Yes you're so right pride definitely has someyhing to do with it. Somehow we are too proud to admit that we're wrong and to apologize. I think we must learn humility and to swallow our pride and say sorry. It's hard the very first time or even subsequent times but it'll get easier and easier. To err is human. We all make mistakes and commit errors of judgements all the time at least for some people. So why can't we just admit it and say sorry and ask for forgiveness. It will make life so much bettter for everyone. Don't you think?

Yeah , It's true!It's the hardest word. I don't say sorry if I have done something wrong to a person.. Maybe because I think he don't deserve my sorry.. And I'm afraid if he will not accept it. I just keep quite for what had done and say nothing.But I asked forgiveness to God for what I've done since God knows my heart and mind.

I don't think there's other reason why somebody can not say sorry but 'ego'. We are human being and it's normal to make mistake because 'no body is perfect'. So Why shouldn't we??. The important thing is we don't repeat the same mistake over and over again just because we can say sorry. We make mistake, we regret it, we learn from it and it makes us become a better person.

We all have learn to say the word. It is very important in our relationships. Sometimes, the word can turn the whole situation.

Well for me, when it comes to relationships, saying sorry or apologizing means you value the relationship more than your pride. It takes great maturity, courage and love to step down and apologize for something you might have not or have done.

sorry is really hard to say especially to those person who has high pride. they never want to stooped down to a lower level and they can not easily admit their own mistake and say sorry. i personally believe that saying sorry is really important and that admitting your own mistake is not a crime nor a sign of weakness. i find a person who is courageous enough to admit his mistake and say sorry brave. everyone should bent when the wind is blowing so you will not be cut and forever be down.

Sorry is not the hardest word. If we have realised we have done a fault are harden think to others we must say sorry to them. If we have open heart then we felt not bad for doing this. But in this case, we nothing do the wrong but we motivated to say sorry from the others it's makes the World as hard it always. Because we didn't do anythink wrong then why we need to say sorry. It's our fact so the Matter involved in the case decides the Word harder or not

I think for many people sorry is a admission of guilt about being wrong when it does not need always to be, but a consideration for the other persons feelings. Pride will get in the way when we feel we are giving something up when in fact we are gaining more constructive dialogue.

I also think thAt pride plays a big role here. It's hard to say sorry especially if the person is not used to it. They find it hard to admit their mistakes. Sometimes, it's also difficult for me say sorry whenever I've done something bad.

sometimes sorry really is the hardest word to say....i think pride does play a big role in this because to say your sorry you are usually saying that you were in the wrong. it also does have a lot to do with the situation some people say they are sorry jsut to end the arguement and that is really hard to do because like i said it is a pride thing and you know (think) that you were right. If i am the one in the wrong and i notice that then i do not have a problem saying sorry but it stillisnt very easy to say yes i am sorry because i was wrong and i screwed up.

When I have done something wrong and I know I am in the wrong I always say that I am sorry and usually give a reason why I did what I did. I do agree though sorry is hard to say because your admitting you are wrong, that you did something that wasn't nice, or something that has hurt somebody. Sometimes sorry is said and it just doesn't cut it, when you say sorry you have to mean it or the apology just doesn't come out sincere and that's worse than not saying your sorry to say it and only be saying it to say and not really meaning what your saying. Sorry is day to day, you can be sorry to anyone anyplace and anything, there is no limits to apologizing.
