Will you say SORRY ???


It's just a single word - 'sorry'. And it's so hard to extract from an unwilling giver.

It surprises me then, how I'm so easy with saying my sorry, heartfelt sorry, sorry to set things right, sorry to people I love, sorry for things I didn't do.
Yes, you read that right - I do that too - say sorry at times for saying stuff and doing things I don't consider wrong. And I'm okay with it.

Sometimes, it's just the price you pay for peace with a person who can't see that you're not wrong. And if I have to choose between my ego and a loved one, I choose the latter. Because it's only the ego that holds you back, doesn't it, from bending when someone else isn't? Between me and my heart, or me and my God, I know what's right, I know I'm not wrong. So what if someone else doesn't understand or doesn't agree?

Someone would say I've compromised on what I believe in, said sorry when I don't feel it. But I don't see it like that. If it makes someone happy, sorts things out, I can do that. If that's the only way of convincing someone of my good intentions, I can do it. As long as that person is important enough for me to go that extra mile. Because you don't want to be estranged from someone who's important to you because they can't get your point. What do you get by being right and being unhappy?

But I'm not sure everyone thinks like that. Would you say sorry for something you aren't guilty of, if the person is important enough?

Let me know what do you think .....
