When Can ‘Sorry’ Become Genuine?
Add value to it by action
Is an apology important in life? I think it is if we have done something wrong to someone and we realize it the least we can do is apologize by saying sorry.
I know I would not even like to hurt a friend, neighbor, or family, and if I did, I would genuinely go and say “sorry.”
However genuine sorry means I would not repeat the action which has hurt people.
Let me tell you that our gardener is a perpetual alcoholic. He drinks alcohol and he becomes ‘high.’ He begins to talk nonsense. He forgets he has a family to support and get back to the community garden in the morning and for his services, we pay him a salary.
He begins to blurt out words and when you ask him if he is drunk, he refuses to acknowledge the fact that he did drink.
He will then say that we pay him so little and he needs that to get his daughter married so how can he drink every day?
When we try to drive him out of the gated colony by asking the guards to gently tell him to leave because he is drunk, he will apologize continuously by saying sorry again and again. He will touch his ears and pull them hard and promise not to drink again.
