Reasons Why You Shouldn't Say Sorry

Sorry! What does that word really mean? Google defines it as

"regretful: feeling or expressing regret or sorrow or a sense of loss over something done or undone. "

I have no problems with this definition. It’s just that, this is a feeling which needs to be expressed, not just a word said to escape reasoning. I know people who use this word all the time and not care. So, I came up with a list of reasons why you shouldn’t say sorry.

Reason#1; we are human!

  • We all make mistakes. From the day we were born we were considered sinners because of Adam and Eve’s wrongdoing. It is all-natural.



Reason#2; if you don’t mean it, it doesn’t really count.

  • Just saying sorry without the intention of really being sorry, doesn’t count. It just doesn’t! So why waste your time saying it.


Reason#3; the most important one, sorry was NEVER synonymous with “I won’t do it again.”

  • When you say “I won’t do it again”, there is an assurance that whatever the fault was will not happen again.

Saying sorry isn’t bad. It really is a good thing if delivered with pure intentions. So, when you’ve done somebody wrong, immediately apologize and mean it.
