Sorry Is The Hardest Word





I guess I have heard that song by the ever most famous Elton John. But what do you think about the title only? I was thinking of this line as a pattern of people can't say sorry because of two things: 1. Pride 2. Fear. When people starts to become a person you don't know. I can't even imagine. When some person is denying that it's their fault and won't say sorry, that was actually the PRIDE that's working. The opposite of having too much pride is being humble. It's okay to be humble at least you know where you are and that's when you can say I'm sorry, I was wrong to say that. Most people especially on high positions, don't say sorry unless told to like little children being forced to eat vegetables instead of chicken.I tried once, when I did not say anything to the person I hurt. Actually I was thinking it was his fault why the situation happened. I never knew I hurt him. That's why I tried so hard to tell him I am so sorry before it's too late.


Next is FEAR. For example, you were ashamed of something that you did over the past years and yet you don't admit it. You are trying to say sorry but you're afraid of what will happen after that. It's a very sad situation. you're afraid of the future ahead. But whatever it is, it can still be avoided by reflecting often so that you will learn mistakes and will not be afraid of the situation anymore. Also advices can be asked if you want to control your emotions when saying sorry.

Who could have thought that this simple five-lettered word is going to be so hard to say? I guess it depends on what kind of lifestyle you're in... for me... I'd better say sorry than too late because it can make situations worse if you won't say anything after an argument.
