I am an apathetic person for as long as i can think of. One who values the importance of maintaining peace through silence and apology. The word sorry is something many of us don't want to use because of our ego. I am used to making use of the word sorry from early stage of life, whenever i felt i was wrong at the little times i open my mouth. Family and friends can atest.
Being entangled with friends who do not value relationships or bonds by apologizing when they are wrong thinking the character displayed can be forgotten in the future will affect ones mental health believing it's normal and not apologizing made me question my habit.
After various research, reading and other people's opinion i realized with the distinct genetic and physical features of some people make them speak in some inconsequential way. When i accidentally bump into random strangers, let my frustrations out or rudely in rare occasions though has made me realize how powerful these two words "iam sorry" can be.
When the word sorry is ultered, it takes away the emotional burden. Apology benefits both sides that got involved in the act.
It becomes easy for the receiver to forgive, the door of genuinely overlooking mistakes is unlocked.
It gives the space occupied about the value given to the relationship or bond. Showing one how much you careor respect them when you say iam sorry. With the word sorry in the world where kindness is becoming a rare act, kindness is spread and it helps the mind come down.
Sorry can bring a reverse adverse reaction if the word sorry is said at the wrong time or it's not meant. Timing of saying the word sorry is of high paramount. We can create an environment filled with positive emotion by making use of the word "sorry" more often and meaning it. It is not a sign of weakness.
