“An honest sorry can restore broken trust”.
On the incredible journey and evolution of the word sorry from “forgive me” to “I apologise” and now to “pardon me”, we have come across the power that these phrases hold. The word sorry makes it to the list of “words of kindness/words of manners” that people teach their toddlers and kids. The list goes as-thank you, please, sorry, may I, excuse me, etc.
And there is a reason why accepting mistakes and apologizing for them should be taught from a young age. The reason is, the word is as powerful as it is kind. As humans, we tend to make mistakes,no one who has ever lived on the surface of the earth is immune to making mistakes. But what if the mistakes start jeopardizing our relationships, personal or professional? This is when being sorry, taking responsibility for the mistake and promising to never repeat the same comes in handy.
Saying sorry might not right away restore the damage done right away, but it will surely put a bandage on the wound, help it in healing and save it from further pain. It also shows the compassionate, empathetic, and understanding side of your personality.
