Sometimes,there's no chance to say sorry.

When we make mistakes or can't do something that someone else have expected us to do,we always say"sorry",and after that we usually receive the forgiveness.However,sometimes,I find,there's no chance to say sorry if we hurt some people too deep.
Once I had a friend who shared almost everything with me.We were good schoolmates in high school and had lunch together everyday.If I met some exercises that were too difficult for me,he would help me withot any hesitation.So would me if he met some problems.
After graduation,both of us changed a lot.But we kept in touch with each other all the time.However,I didn't attend his wedding party because of some reasons.I explained to him the reasons,but couldn't get his believing.So I had to say "sorry"towards him.
From then on,our friendship seemed to end.
So I think sometimes "Sorry"isn't as useful as we have expected.

I totally agree with you- i can easily say sorry for the little things that i have done.. But when it comes t wounds that are kind of deep- to my parents or my close friends, i find it hard to say those words.. 
it is just awful, since we really have to set aside our pride to say it.

Sorry is too small a word when it is expected that the other person after listening to this word would forgive the person using the word.Most of the times it is not possible to forget everything and behave as if it was the same as before...it takes a lot from within to forgive a person after you have been hurt badly.

You are right some time we have no chance to say sorry and we feel this was our big mistake. Specially when say something by mouth means hurt the person more than fighting. But still I have no experience because I do the mistake but little bit and suddenly say sorry to my danger and sweet husband.

It's true that sometimes you haven't given the chance to say sorry. Especially when someone has been hurt so much with what you did and he/she choose to stay away from you. You can't do anything but to wait for his/her forgiveness.

That's tough. I mean I don't know what your reason was but it might have truly hurt your friend's feelings when you didn't show up on his wedding day no matter what the excuse was. Even if you really really can't make it I think he is just focused on the fact that you weren't there. Maybe you just need to show more sincerity the next time you get the chance to apologize to him. It's not easy to ask for forgiveness and the same with it's not easy to forgive. Just be patient for the right moment to apologize.

That's why when we have the chance to say sorry we must take advantage of it and do not think too much just say sorry that's it.

I am sure that your friend misses you, too. And he wasn't really mad at you but just a bit upset coz he was expecting you to be part of the most important event of his life. Let time pass and then try to go see him and rebuild the friendship.

I understand what you mean. But if a person was really deeply hurt, saying sorry cannot immediately or instantly erase the pain. You have to give the person time to get over it and to stop hurting. At least you have done the very important thing, and that is to seek forgiveness and show that you are willing to make amends. The rest is up to the person you have offended.

yes you were right ..sometimes we hurt someones feelings too deep that mere telling of sorry is not enough ..but you are saying that he is your best buddy ..may be you can try and explain him the reason, no matter how stupid the reason was..i think he surely will understand and forgive you ..you got to let him know that you still value the friendship.

Some times with out control we are not able to help out due to time or the issue at hand and yes we say I am sorry I can't do this it. It is a sad fact that we use sorry for just about every thing when we are talking to others but i can think of no other words that say it as well as you and it is not wrong to do so .I think if your telling a person your sorry then I would tell them why you cant help them and explain why you cant .

Sorry means you feel the pulse of other people's pain as well as your own, and saying it means you take a share of it. And so it binds us together, makes us trodden and sodden as one another. Sorry is a lot of things. It's a hole refilled. A debt repaid. Sorry is the wake of misdeed. It's the crippling ripple of consequence. Sorry is sadness, just as knowing is sadness. Sorry is sometimes self-pity. But Sorry, really, is not about you. It's theirs to take or leave.
Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won't settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn't take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It's an offering. A gift.”
