Being Sorry

One day you will look up to the heavens and beg for that one more time to do it right, to change the situation that you had put yourself into. To gather people around and say sorry to each and everyone of them because that's what will seem appropriate at that time. Then Sadly, there wouldn't be a second chance to turn tables, neither will there be to leave the podium and hug loved ones. 

Recently, a friend told me that a man should never apologize to a woman whatsoever, even if you are on the wrong. His argument being, a man is superior and the moment you say you are sorry you admit a weakness in you. I laughed and laughed but never forgot the quote to date. One month later, he separated with the wife due to some disagreements, just per his words, he never apologized even when a marriage counselor advised him to do so in order to save the marriage. It cost him his marriage just by not learning to say sorry and humbly accepting his mistake. 

The recurrent days I assume he would have said a thousand sorry just to make things work again, he had no choice however but regrets to live with, cold nights to spend alone and to cook and eat by himself. A times we become quick to judge what we hear from others and act upon them without a second thought. Just because of being driven by a desire for superiority, because nothing of it matters than losing the grip of a woman we love as well as a six month old baby.Walk away from those fallacies that pins you down rather than uplifting you. I mean, which world is that? And who does that? Unless you are committed to keeping the YES, I DO phrase. Do as you may want to be done to you, love the same way you would want others to love you. 

There are simple things that we ignore yet they are fundamental to our well being, they are the core to our existence. It is through these that we derive meaning, that we maintain friendships and not to mention become superior
