Of course you can always say your sorry, and maybe even feel like it. But what if that's not enough? This is something that I have thought about a lot lately, but haven't yet figured it out. I'm really an unforgiving person if I'm really hurt, but I have also learned, that with some people even the smallest wounds seem to take forever to heal. And there's nothing good enough to be done. *grr*

When you hurt someone, you can always say sorry. Or else you can Just hug them and show them that you felt about the incident what happened. Hug could make anyone better when you do it with love and care.

Sometimes apologies are not enough when you have hurt someone. Sometimes instead of just saying "I am sorry" you have to show the person that you are truly sorry for what you have done. I believe that sometimes in life that actions do indeed speak louder than words. Because in all honesty anyone can pretend that they are sorry just by uttering those words. But having someone actually go out of there way to express to you how truly sorry they are.. Just goes to show that they are willing to change & that those words they have spoken we're from the heart & they we're being honest. Sometimes a person has to go that extra step & ask the person for their forgiveness by doing things such as this. I also believe that.. It is when you do things or go out of your way to prove your sincerity that a person will be willing to try to re-consider closing there doors on you. Or keeping you as apart of there life. I also believe that if a person wants to make it up to you, it must come from himself/herself, not just based on your personal demand. I mean in all honesty.. You can tell someone you are "sorry" over & over again, but if you don't show it, then it means absolutely nothing in the end. I believe that actions will always reveal the true inner thoughts & feelings to another person. I think a person has to prove that they are sorry with not only words, but actions all at the same time! Sometimes in life the words people use can also be used to mislead another or even to help create an illusion. I think that's why until someone is willing to SHOW that they are sorry.. Then it doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot. This is why some people will not be willing to just forgive the person so easily. And as well a lot of people will not forgive someone because they've had people apologize to them in the past & have done the same thing all over again.. I know I am the type of person who rely's on not just words, but also action when someone ends up hurting me. In conclusion.. I truly do honestly believe that actions do indeed speak louder than words. I mean realistically.. Actions come naturally... But if one was to think about it we as human-beings can manipulate our words whenever we want. I believe this is the smart way of expressing to another how truly sorry you may be. In other words I feel by you living up to what you say.. But also at the same time expressing that your sorry through action will go a long way to letting the person know how truly you are.. As well at the same time how they mean everything to you. But in all honesty you are taking a chance by doing this each & every time. Because sometimes both of these things may not end up working. And if they don't all you can do is take what you had learned from that relationship.. And make sure to carry this wisdom with you to the next so you don't end up making the same mistake all over again! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

Yes the best way to say you are sorry is to regret the thing you did and you show that you really regret. And after you said that you are indeed sorry and you regret very much what you have did you make a symbolic present. Good luck and let's hope we will reconcilliate.

Yes, it is the mentality of human being to remember bad things for long and forget the good one. Most of us do so. Many people spend their most of time in the past/remorse, in this way their present becomes worst leading future too. Forgiveness is the only thing to make the life happy but seldom we follow it. Let the people decide on it by your good TOPIC posted here. At least few of us change ourself, cridit will go on your account.
