"With salvation comes damnation, you can't have one without the other. To be enlightened is a blessing and a curse that not many people can live with." ~Apathy

No one is to EVER tell me they are sorry.

Ok, if we completely take out the fact that I am not a forgiving person (Ok well minus literally 4 people in my life that get passes) I can still honestly say that if I WERE forgiving by now the word "Sorry" would have lost complete meaning to me.  It is thrown around as often, if not more than the word "love" and I can't take it anymore.
As a child I would often become the recipient of punishment for this exact same word. Because it was never a word my mother could MAKE me say. When I was rueful, I rued, when I wasn't I shrugged. But on top of that I also took the steps needed to not make the same mistakes again. And to the FEW people that are like that, unfortunately the others have ruined it for you.
When we look into the definition of an apology this is what we get:
                  a·pol·o·gize 
intr.v. a·pol·o·gizeda·pol·o·giz·inga·pol·o·giz·es
1. To make excuse for or regretful acknowledgment of a fault or offense.
2. To make a formal defense or justification in speech or writing.




 TO MAKE EXCUSE. LIKE LITERALLY.  To exasperate matters, we currently occupy an era of nonaccountablility, where expressing contrition is like exposing our pristine, gluteal hemispheres to a biting Nor' Easter.This one word is assumed an easy way of getting yourself off of the hook when you have done something wrong. I am starting to see so many more people in my life acting like idiots and then assume that because they said “sorry” that you should forgive them. No more. No more "I'm sorry", "didn't mean to" "trying to ..." none of it. The best way to show true penitence is to BE BETTER.
