Comments on: Apology NOT Accepted! http://www.newagebitch.com/2008/09/02/apology-not-accepted/ It's not what you think.

Sorry has just become a word we use to quickly get beyond a bad situation whether we feel it or not. When I was a child, I remember my folks forcing me to say that I was "sorry". One day I told my Mom, "When I grow up and have kids I'm never going to make them say sorry, because I'M NOT!" <abbr><em><abbr><em>AngieSSs last blog post..<a href="http://www.cupofsnarky.com/2008/10/14/ive-been-dubbed-the-queen-of-snarky/" rel="nofollow">I’ve Been Dubbed The Queen Of Snarky!</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I love this post because it is absolutely true.

I say sorry a lot, but I mean it when I say it. And people will tell me that no, I don't. That if I fucking meant it I wouldn't have done what I was apologizing for in the first place. That's fucked. Why the hell even have the word? Stuff gets lost in translation. That's how our brain works. A word goes through at least 10 different meanings until we get the one we think is right. And when we miss something, we apologize. I miss stuff a lot, I apologize a lot. I mean it. Don't tell me what I mean, you don't even know. Your blog is really cool, though. :) I likes the personal touch. <abbr><em>Corey Freemans last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/diligentdesign/itnj/~3/385290886/" rel="nofollow">How to Experiment on Your Blog</a></em></abbr> I think I’m just wired differently.

Words are just words, nothing more. And if the four letter variety get my point across in the manner I am trying to do in written language, so be it. I could not agree with you more about the whole word "sorry." See I have a son with a severe disability and I HATE when fuckers say "Oh, I am so sorry." Sorry for what? For my son not being like yours? Fuck you. I am not here for a pitty party. How about saying something like. "Wow, you have done a great job, how can I get involved." That is real. Sorry, is just piss water. I'll dig around more as I have time. Which I seem to have plenty of since we are just hanging out today. (It is double race day,thanks to Hanna, therefore....not much for me to do except the laundry.) <abbr><em>Malicious Intents last blog post..<a href="http://maliciousintently.blogspot.com/2008/09/hubby-has-two-new-posts-up.html" rel="nofollow">Hubby has a few posts and other plugs.</a></em></abbr> I swear like a sailer too, and I don’t appologzie for it.

You have the energy that often leads to real discovery in life. You have he ability to peel away layers of illusion and present what is visceral and real. You have the innate gift of becoming a leader and guide for others. All depends on your use of your gift and how much illusion you can shed in your own journey.

You rock. You're absolutely right; that's our lock-step reaction when someone says "I'm sorry." We have to respond with "That's okay," even when it is clearly not. How retarded is that? Becki: It's a social thing. Like "How are you?" "Fine". We're not fine, not always, but we're not really allowed to say anything other than that. Mom/Mum: Cool. I'll look for you. And "blof" is actually a better word than "blog." Blog always sounded like what's left over when the cat barfs. Blogger Dad: Dude. You rock.

I know I'm guilty of saying I'm sorry a lot. I always mean it when I say it, but at the same time I need to learn to stop doing the things that are causing me to have to say I'm sorry. I do know how you feel though..I have run into the people that you're talking about, and they always irritate me. I think most people try to use ‘I’m sorry’ as a way to empathize.
