Sorry!

Sorry! That’s the most abused word in English I know of. At least fuck is supposed to be derogatory in its usage most of the time, so technically it is not abused. Will start with a few instances :

Scene 1 : Table tennis match. Hard fought point, your opponents return miraculously manages to strategically touch the net and yet land on your side of the table, giving him the point. He says “ Sorry!” ( at least wipe of the silly grin of your face, I know you aren’t sorry)

Scene 2 ( female perspective ) : Some guy bumps into you intentionally ( occasionally it happens unintentionally too ) , then the same sorry!

I could go on and on. But that is not the purpose. I believe that the reason it is abused is because of convention and values that people have. Somehow a lot of people believe that just saying sorry does it. Typical comments ( usually from females ) “ How hard is it to say sorry?” “ You are being childish, just apologise” etc . What I fail to understand is that how it serves any purpose. If one is really sorry, saying it out loud is the last thing needed, usually some other action signals the intent anyway.

As far as I am concerned, it is a word to be used sparingly, and with intent. It doesn’t solve anything. I feel sorry occasionally, but rarely express that. If I did start doing the expressing part, family would be much closer. Mom doesn’t need me to say sorry to still love me. Why should anyone else? What kind of relationship is forged on lies and make-believe? Why should one even care?

This is the last post in my series of cynical and bashing a category of people. With this I am officially burying some corpses. Some of those who could have been.

And no, I am not sorry for doing that. Sad, yes.

edit : a couple of edits to be made. first one is now, next will be when and if i ever feel like it.
Few things for which one does not say sorry to me, basically u don’t get forgiven. If you were at some level, you have gone from there to being Mr. or Miss or Mrs. Xyz as your name might be.
To list them all would probably mark me as an insensitive SOB by most females, so I will desist from that, the only common thread among all of them is leaving ( even once) without the decency to say good-bye ( when not hampered by anything). I consider it worse than an outright slap on my face? Would you continue to treat someone the same way if they slaped you in your face? I think not.

next edit will be specific. dont know if the intended readers will read it. I dont think they will anyway.
