I’m sorry.
Why do we apologize for things?
I have come into encounters with many people over my days, various backgrounds, philosophy’s, and life situations. I love the unique qualities that make each and every bein an individual.
Something ive found is that often I will have a conversation, whether extremely brief or in depth, and many times the party will use the term ‘sorry’ or ‘apologize’ at least once. To be polite, kind, these are values I learnt as a child and I do believe they are beneficial, but something tells me the apology is being overused. It’s as though it has become a crutch of our society. The scapegoat or perhaps even the ‘magic eraser’.
Are we truly apologetic though? Are we simply saying the things that will appease the other party involved?
Questions I can not answer, but ones that open my mind to some perspective based on much thought.
