I don't really like this concept of being sorry about something, especially about being sorry for a mistake I have made. I am not a stubborn person and admit to my faults but I would not be sorry for it. Please note, admitting to the fault and being sorry for the fault are two different concepts in my constitution because, when you are sorry you feel guilty about what you did.
Sorry is an unnecessary ingredient in life. My point is that we do not have to feel sorry for the mistakes we have made, because, in all honesty, we all knew that we would not regret the decision made at the moment we did it. Sorry parallels strongly with regret and people should not regret the decision they have made. Hearken this "Unpolished, Unapologetic- might have broke a heart or two but gave an honest effort". One should be proud about the decision they have made despite the fact that it hurt someone. Life isn't a game where everyone wins. It is a battlefield where some wins and some loses. To state a harsh fact, people "claim victory when malice is on the verge of sinning". Do you win by being sorry?
Well, that's pretty asshole way at looking at life. I'm not malignant so let's ignore the morals behind claiming victory whilst sinning. I'll focus on this question. Where does sorry get you? You think that being sorry will gain you acceptance than think again. You do not redeem yourself by being sorry. I don't know about you, but, in the eyes of my god, he does not forgive you for your sins just because you are sorry for committing. He does not judge you by the sincerity for the mistake you have made. He judges you by your character and the way you have redeemed for the mistake you have made. You have to win his heart through showing yourself that you are a changed man, not being negotiating about how bad you felt about what you did. And again, in his argument, you weren't feeling so sorry when you did it.
Another example of the ineffectiveness of being sorry is Aboriginal History. Yes, I am drawing another reference from my study of English, this time it is Noel Pearson. He specified that reconciliation is not about the being sorry. He criticised the action of "apportioning guilt and blame" and making the justice that exists within reconciliation appears cheap. No one is going to get over something just because you said sorry.
I just want you to know, I don't like the fact that people are simply saying sorry for everything.
