Sorry is the most overused word in our contemporary society. Especially because we all hurt someone and needed to fix it.
When someone is hurt they just want one thing. That’s right, an empty word we all know and use; even overuse to be precise.
The art of saying sorry
Some people master the art of saying sorry and that’s the only thing they’ll ever master. They’ll just stretch people’s boundaries and they’ll just say sorry when they’ve crossed the line. The strange thing is that this scam works over and over again. Just look at how many people literally ask to say sorry.
It’s a hollow word that seems to make them happy but I doubt this can have a long-lasting effect. Why should you forgive someone when they just use a word to avoid confrontation? What happened to real values and norms? Is the problem solved when they say it? In some cultures you won’t get away with a sorry it’s only in our spoiled Western society that people want this so bad.
When someone is late I want more than the hollow word. You’ll smell the bullshit from a mile away when they can’t give a good reason for being late.
Some people send a text apologizing, giving a reason why they’re late. Once you meet up they’ll apologize and my answer mostly makes them laugh. I’ll always thank them for the extra reading or writing time. They expect a confrontation but I’ll give them gratitude. They’ll laugh and everyone will be fine. Everybody hates being late and everybody hates disrespect. We’ve all been late and that’s normal since no one is perfect. Never forget that last part.
Sorry but you’ll have to take action
Do you know what really fixes an issue? Action! Taking action and showing that you really mean it. That’s the way it should be. Giving a girl flowers instead of a meaningless word, giving her a hug… You don’t always have to buy something, sometimes a silent action can arouse more feelings than you’ve imagined.
I’ve got to admit that I deliberately didn’t use our favorite hollow word. Not even when people asked for it. I want to show people that I made a mistake. Why should I do what 99% of the population does? When they say A I’ll do B. When they hurt a girl they’ll say the word and I’ll give a hug.
Being a man means you’ll take care of your problems and solve them in a good way. I guess the high testosterone affects more than I described.
The golden sorry combo
Instead of using that one word you can add a little power to it. You can spice it up and have a greater effect. Show that you’re sorry and say “I’m sorry”. It’s more powerful since you say YOU’re sorry. Maybe I learned this lesson by chasing women.
Conclusion
Now I know many people will disagree with me. So let me handle this in their favorite way.
Sorry that I don’t use an empty word to show something. Sorry that I rather show that I made a mistake and sorry that you’re still desperately waiting for that one word.
Show that you’re a better man than all the rest. Show you’re not like 99% of the people.
Stop using empty words and take action.
Walk the walk and talk the talk, as it should be.
Till next time
