It's never too late to say sorry:)

Is it late to say Sorry?



Hello friends, one of the interesting topics in today’s life is that, whether it is late to say I am Sorry to someone for our deeds and mistakes? Now, First of all I am not talking about evil or absolutely wrong deeds; I am talking about the mistakes that each and every human being makes during the time of making or maintaining a relationship.

It happens in our day to day life that we make mistakes (Not 1 but many), we act stupidly or do something that may affect our relationship with someone. Now, is it late to say sorry to that person after a year or so? I will say NO. Sometime, we take a hell lot of time to realize that we had did something wrong and we are really for sorry for the mistake that was made knowingly or unknowingly.  Remember that, the time you did that thing and somebody got upset and you felt kind of bad, but just let it run its course and never said a word about it again? There's still time to say you're sorry.

However, if you say sorry after some long time then, this thing may happen: -
  • It may happen that the person is waiting for your sorry all this time and he or she will ultimately forget you and then, your relationship will become normal as it was before committing the mistake; 
  • The person whom you are saying sorry may not consider you’re sorry i.e. he or she will still think that you are not apologizing from your heart. However, when you are really sorry from your heart then you should not care about thinking of that person because for you, the person and not his/her thinking matters. Remember at that time that, Life is short, don't waste time worrying about what people think of you Hold on to the ones that care, in the end they will be the only ones there. So, when you are really sorry from your heart then, you will do everything to make the person happy. I know that, it might take a lot of time and it may also happen that your relationship with that person may not remain the same as it was before making the mistake but, still when you are sorry from your heart and you believe it then, you are ready to face any consequences and you will try to get all the things on the track; 
  • Now, the worst case scenario is that the person will not approve your sorry still you should say sorry because when you say sorry then, at least you are doing your work of apologizing from your heart. Further, you should learn that you will not commit the same mistake again and will try to change yourself in that area.

The thing is we’re all human and as filmy as it sounds, we all make mistakes. What matter more is how you deal with them. From inebriated accidents to practical jokes, our mistakes are everywhere.

Now, how should you say sorry for your mistakes,

  • First of all tell I am Sorry by looking in the eyes of that person;
  • Secondly tell why and what meant you think that you are sorry;
  • Thirdly do something that can fix the situation if possible;
  • Fourth explain why you said sorry now and not earlier.

However, you have to remember that saying sorry is a Nishkam Karma Yoga i.e. action without expecting result because all you can do is to try, be sincere. You cannot force other people to feel things that they cannot feel. At least if you try, you will have the answer and a clean conscience that you did try to put things right.

So, how late it may be, at least try to say sorry because that person & not your or his ego matters to you.

Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won't settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn't take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It's an offering A gift.”
