Sorry

remember when we were little, and we would accidentally bite a kid on the playground ? Our teacher would go, "say you're sorry".

And we would say it, but we wouldn't meant it. Because the stupid kid we bit ? Totally deserve it.

But as we get older, making amends isn't so simple. After the playground days are over, you can't just say it. You have to mean it.

As student, we can't undo our mistakes, and we rarely forgive ourselves for them, but it's hazard of the trade. But as human beings, we can try to do better, to be better, to right a wrong even when it feels irreversible.

Of course "I'm sorry" doesn't always cut it. May be we use it so many different ways as a weapon, as an excuse.

But when we are really sorry, when we use it right, when we mean it, when our action say what words never can, when we get it right, "I'm sorry" is perfect.

When we get it right, "I'm sorry" is redemption.
