TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO UNDERSTAND IT IS FINE... TO LEARN TO APOLOGIZE IS HUMILITY AND TO FORGIVE IS DIVINE...Is it too late now to say sorry?
Would they ever forgive me?
Should I really apologize?
Have I really done something for which I should ask for forgiveness?
These are those thoughts that churn in our mind all the time when we hurt someone for whom we do care. But at the end most of us reach to the conclusion that we are not wrong and we mustn't say sorry.
We all are social animals, love other people's company and enjoy with everyone. So many people would definitely have so many different thinkings, notions, thought processes, beliefs and that's what makes everyone unique.
Respecting other's views and beliefs is what make us socially acceptable. Two friends or relatives or a couple may obviously differ in opinions. This is what makes them what they are. Discarding them for the fact they are not like us or they don't think in the same way as we do is really a novice and disdainful thought on your part.
We are humans, we err and so does everyone. In this process we may hurt someone whom we like or someone who is near to us, but then comes the tricky part. Ego gets confused with self respect when it comes to ask for forgiveness.
Apologies don't make a person small, it makes them a gentleman. Sorry is just another word in so many other words which signifies that we regret of our doing. But sorry without feeling is nothing but a plain word.
We often hurt someone near and dear to us and then pretend that we have been hurt by them so as to avoid asking for apologies. Saying sorry gets compromised by our self stated ego which keeps telling us that we have done nothing wrong.
Human mind is very peculiar in these aspects, when you start to feed your ego it starts to reciprocate to it by conveying you and making you believe that you haven't done anything wrong so you need not to say sorry.
Not accepting mistake becomes the cause of a hell lot of problems between people.
Best friends become sworn enemies.
Couples get divorced.
Hearts develop hatred for the person.
This all makes our relations weak. We tend to forget people who were once one of those people who were most important to us.
Coming to the deliberate topic- Is it too late now to say sorry?
No, it's never too late to ask for apologies. Accepting that people do err and forgive them is what's the thing that counts the most in any relation.
According to many surveys, due to lack of understanding and fear of saying sorry about 50% of marriages break down in Canada.
We live in a world where every person is for himself. Nobody wants to care for the person next to them. But is it the way it should be?
Not at all, we are the kind who love being social, we do love company, we do love people laughing around us. Then why this barrier and such stats claim that we have become a lot more unsocial than we really are?
The answer is that we crave for similarity.
Hey! He and I both are from New Jersey, we must be great friends here and not with that one from India, he seems quite tanned too.
You know what? He and I share the same birthday, we must be quite alike friends.
Did you hear that he is a Brahmin ( caste in India ) too. We will get along great together.
This is what gets us in problem. People with your same birthday, caste or birthplace are not going to be like you. Hell, nobody is gonna be exactly like you. You are one of a kind and so are they.
Rather than imposing your views and thoughts over others you should give a thought to the thing that what counts is how well do you accept each-other and how well do you trust each-other. Life is not about pinning yours or others mistakes, its about letting go and getting along.
So should you ask for sorry even when you know you're not at fault?
Sure.. if you really want that person to be with you, if you really crave their time and company then you should go for it. Saying a simple word can save your whole relationship with the person. You would also be humbled down and would definitely get respect from the other person.
Sometimes people say something they don't mean, many times they do something they didn't want to.
Many times due to circumstances they feel bound to do something that otherwise they would never have done.
It's all natural that we hurt someone unintentionally or even intentionally while trying to look stud but if someone has been with you and you do believe that they are one of those few people that you would never like to lose in your whole life, then you should learn to apologize and to forgive.
Once and for all,
IT'S NOT LATE TO SAY SORRY, JUST LEARN TO FORGIVE AND FORGET...
