Sorry

Most of us have a tendency to explain or seek an explanation when things don't go wrong. Is this always the best way to resolve a problem?

When we do something that causes others to feel hurt or rejected, we try to explain our actions. But if the person is feeling hurt or rejected, that person doesn't care about our explanations. That person only wants to hear one word - SORRY.

When someones tells us that they are depressed over a situation, we try to ask them a reason why they are depressed. But the truth of the matter is that the person is actually experiencing these feelings, and what is the use to ask that person to explain why he or she is feeling that way. That person only wants us to feel one thing for him or her - to feel SORRY.

To say SORRY or to feel SORRY for someone - is it that hard to do?

Maybe it is hard to say such a word as we need to humble ourselves and admit we are wrong. Maybe it is harder to feel that way for another person, as we are not even interested in other people in the first place.

Maybe in a sense, we are all living in this tragic world, and would like someone else to say SORRY or to feel SORRY for us.
