I think that sometimes it is a little late to say your sorry. Sometimes the damage is already done, and a sorry can't take back what you did. I do think that an apology would help out in the situation, but only a little bit. I think it is easier to accept an apology rather than give one. When you're giving an apology you are already feeling guilty for making someone sad or mad over something that you did, but if you're the one accepting the apology then all you really have to say is "it's okay" whether you actaully mean it or not. -Dominique
i think it is a little late to say tou are sorry becuse you hurt the person and that you cant take back it is harder to say you are sorry becuse the person might still feel hurt-jim
wow i just had like a whole huge thing written but i accidentally pressed the stupid backspace now its ALLL GONEE. ill blog later i'm to devastated right now ha -katelyn
I believe it's never too late to apologize. The person can't expect an apology that minute. If they aren't expecting a sorry, and you do end up apologizing that minute, they won't accept it because they think that you're just saying that so everything will go away. The two people need a time to cool off and accept what just went on. It is most definately easier to receive an apology than it is to give one. But remember that it's difficult for everyone to apologize especially when they what you're approval back and you are sincerely giving it to the friend you hurt. -Rachael
No matter where you are or who you are nothing is better than having your apology accepted. People may be disgusted with you but inside they know it is the right thing! Saying sorry sews up all loose strings and brings people together. Like I said before if the person has done so much wrong and you can't even forgive them that means that you have to search deep down, because in everyone there is that little bit of sorrow. Sorry, but I think religion brings a big part into forgiving. Some people may say that there is no such thing as God and I respect that. But to forgive we need to be able forgive our own selves before we can even start forgiving someone else. Religion ties into sorries because God asked us to forgive not once but many times. This is why I believe that sorry is never ending. It is like a circle that keeps on moving it can keeps growing and growing until the sorries have replaced all the wounds. I'm not sure which is easier apologizing or accepting that apology. I believe that it is a tie. It takes alot of courage to be sorry and it takes more to accept that apology. I hope this makes sense! Feel free to disagree. -regn :)
It is never, ever to late to say sorry, because if you truely mean it, the you are saying sorry to will no and appericated that you now know that you did something wrong. Being able to say sorry is so much more harder beause you have to first figue out that you are hurting some then you have to have the guts to sand u and say tat you are sorry. The person saying sorry has to realize that the person may or may no forgive you, depending on the cercomestances ...spelling... Caroline
Don't ever think its to late to say sorry because its not! i'd like to take a moive for example "Billy Madison" he picked on this one guy when he was in high school and then when Billy has to go back to high school he gets picked on. So that night Billy calls the dude he picked on when he was a teenager and said sorry the guy forgave him and crossed Billy off his "To kill list". Now Billy didn't say sorry until about 10 years later so that guy had a gurge on him till he said sorry. Anyways its really its never to late to say sorry, then again there are certain people that say its to late for that now, but they're wrong they just don't want to accept the apologe because of what that person did to them. After a couple days later the same person that you said sorry to should come over to you and apologize themselves about being a idiot and didn't accept your apologe the first time becauase thats happened to me!
It depends always on what kind of situation. It is really easy for me to forgive someone and give them a second chance, but thats the thing. I normally only give second chances. If it is relatively not important then yeah ill say sorry. Sometiems it is to late to say sorry though if it takes that person forever to say it. Say if i have already made up my mind on something and a person wants to say sorry i wont forgive them because it took to much time for them to actually say it or they have hurt me for to long. It's never really easy to accept or give a sincere apology though. To many ideas are running through your head to know what to say next. You could find yourself saying sorry back and not really meaning it or you could acually mean the apology. -Tina
It depends on the what the person said or did. There's different levels on hurting people. You can say sorry and it could all good but theres some things you can't take back. It also depends on the person. You should always say your sorry no matter what. It's defenatly eaiser to accept an apolgy because you could say yea ok and wlak away. But when you say your sorry it lifts a ton a weight of your shoulders. I really like what Matt said about Billy Madison! -Cammy
i dont think its ever too late. even if that person has passed. there is always time for an "im sorry." but that doesn't mean it always help. sorrys dont always cut it but it may help. it is deff. better to recieve an apology then give one. when you recieve one you can always not accept it but when you say sorry to someone else and they dont accept it you have to figure out some other way to make it up to that person
Nice job guys; you've put a lot of thought into these. I've noticed in my MANY years on this earth that people seem to think "sorry" excuses bad behavior no matter what. As Holly said, "Sorry doesn't always cut it." I have often told my own kids to think about the consequences of their words and actions; will they be actions that they will regret and end up having to apologize for? With that being said, I don't think it is ever too late for a sincere apology. It may be on that road to redemption we all eventually travel. Ms. Carr
It’s never too late to apologize because sometimes it takes time to realize the severity of your mistakes; or just maybe you now understand that you actually did do something wrong. A late sincere apology is better than a meaningless one that you could have said sooner just because you think you should’ve. I don’t believe saying “sorry” is worth diddly squat, because to me, actions speak louder than words. But verbalizing your apology I guess is the first step to make a mends. Personal opinion, (feel free to say I sound dumb) I think it’s easier to give an apology. Acceptance and forgiveness is not my forte. I tend to get caught up in my own head a lot and I can be over analytical, but I rely on my conscience to help me do the right thing in the end.
Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me-anonymous. In all of my experiences the ability to forgive is love in its purest form. It is also the most difficult of acts (forgiving).
its never to late. you can say your sorry but may never sink in but its never too late its easir to accepet one cause you know the screwed up and its nice to give one and you no if the apolgy is accepted or not
I dont think its ever too late to say sorry. Yeah the damage is done ,but you can get it off your chest. Thats the only thing that you have to say. Its not your fault if they dont accept your apology. Its the thought that matters. It is pretty easy to accept an apology. People shouldn't fight it when people say there sorry cause that would lead to more fighting.
i think its easier to accept and apolagy than to give one because you feel really bad abouty what you did somtimes but other times you could not mean it to say sorry so it all depends on the situation
Depends, if I killed your family or ran over your dog with a snow plow, then sorry doesn't really cut it. Its a matter of what the problem is, how late is it, and how sincere you are about it. There's a Dane Cook skit were he throws a house party and some guy walks up to him with his refrider door and look at him and say "Sorry we were taking turns bull riding and it just... fell" then he walks away in that "I'm not really sorry walk" and continues to party. It's pretty easy just to say I'm Sorry and it's easy to say it's ok, but do you mean it. Thats the key. ---Trent ( Listen my Children, and you will hear about a chicken and a bear on a bus to oklahome moo) Knight
like what steve said its totally easier excepting an apology instead of saying one. because i ALWAYS say somethiong that i didnt mean to say and like some of the stuff i say i expect some people to not acept my apology. Ill except almost any apology unless the person called me fat or made fun of my parents. -rob ms. carr i thank you for the blog you previously wrote about me <3 olive juice ( i love you) peace out home skillet carr (im imagining me bumping your arm like usual)
it sometimes is too late to say your sorry because you could have made someones live miserable or did something bad and sometimes its just to late to apologize. Its easier to say your sorry and accept it because you can say but dont mean but accepting it is harder because you still have get through the thing that the person is saying sorry for. -Tyler
it depends if the person is lubikan, my made up word) or not. if they are always mean bullies then you dont accept, but it is easier to sya its ok. its easy to say sorry though.
sometimes it is easy to say sorry when the problem is not that big of a deal. but the then if the situration changes then it may become harder to say sorry. it is easy to accect one than to give one. -Doug
I think sometime it can be to late to say sorry. But there is those time where you wernt thinking when you were doing it and it is always good to say sorry to that person. It is defally hard to give an aplogy then get one because when you are trying to say sorry you really feel like a jerk when you no what you did.
It's never to late to say sorry but the sooner you say sorry the better. From my own experiences it seems easier in most cases to give an apology because the hardest thing you have to do is swallow your pride and just have the courage to admit you messed up. Accepting an apology is so difficult because someone hurt you and if you decide to accept their apology then your inviting them back into your life. That's a tough decision because you never know if you could be hurt again by that person.
It's never too late to say your sorry, but you have to know that even though you said your sorry that doesn't mean that the whole thing will be better and you are off the hook. You have to deal with the consquences. I think it's harder to forgive the person whos apologizing than it is to actually deliver the apology yourself because to forgive someone for everything they have done could be difficult. Depending on what they did, of course, it could be easier or harder to forgive. If someone accidently bumbed you in the hallway, they say there sorry then it would be pretty easy to say it's ok. Then there are the situatiuons like the one that Peter got himself into. He could say he was sorry all he wanted, but would he ever really be forgiven by everyone?- Taylor
I don’t think it’s ever to later to say sorry. It could make a difference to the person you’re saying it to. I think giving and accepting an apology are both hard to do.
