Sorry, a word I feel humankind use way too much! It is meant to be used as a way to apologise when you have upset, offended or angered someone, when you have done something wrong and you know it.

The problem…

People use it way too much and they don’t always mean it when they say it.

How many times have you experienced or witnessed someone do something wrong and upset someone else or yourself and then they apologise with the word, ‘Sorry’, only for them to hurt you, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years later doing the exact same thing that offended you or someone else before or the first time.

Sorry holds pretty much no meaning anymore. Or if it does, that meaning is more of a ‘Sorry, not sorry’ attitude, with the whole being of I am not sorry for what I have done and I would do it again if I had to mentality.

It is a shame that the human race has become such a horrible and ignorant race, where offending people, especially the ones we love becomes almost a daily tradition.

I do hope one day the human race will evolve, empathy will become a sixth sense and we will all manage our own and other people’s feeling better and with more compassion.

But until then… The word sorry for me is becoming obsolete…
