On Apologies, does delivery matter?
A popular song states, “Sorry is the hardest word (to say)” and I reckon some other song also states, “it’s hard for me to say ‘I’m sorry’” — does it mean that one of the hardest thing a person has to do, in a relationship or not, is to apologise?
Personally, I’d say yes. I do find it hard to apologise esp when I’m still angry. However, when these feelings die down and I’ve had the chance to think things over, I can muster up the courage to come up to my partner and apologise — even when it means I have to swallow my pride. I’m simply making the decision to make things work and would focus on why I’m with him in the first place. That’s how I’m built, I guess.
However, there are times wherein I’d wonder if a simple SMS message or an IM (instant message over some chat application) will do. Does it always have to be in person? Won’t a phone call do? Do I really need flowers or chocolates as some form of peace offering? Is it better if I get an old fashioned note that contains the words, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you.”?
What do you think? Does delivery truly matter? Any thoughts?
