THE POWER OF *I AM SORRY.*

*I am sorry,* a short but mighty sentence!

If you wish to live long, don't joke with this short sentence, *I am sorry.* Do you know how many people who had gone to early grave because they neglected the therapeutic power of *I am sorry.*

Most of the troubles in most homes are heightened because wives are too big to say *I am sorry* to their husbands and you can trust the ego of husbands in saying same to their wives.

Quarrel lingers between friends because no party wants to say *I am sorry* Each says or asks, why should I be the first to say *I am sorry?* He or she would beat his or her chest and utter the ego phrase, *a whole me!*

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the part of the world where saying *I am sorry* is a hard nut to crack while curses are easily unleashed.

Welcome to the part of the world where people refer to a person who says *I am sorry* in a midst of a rift as a *weaker sex*: one who is not man enough; one who is foolish.

Welcome to Africa where saying *I am sorry* is tougher than forcing a donkey to pass through a needle hole.

All of us are victims of this discussion. We have lost valuable assets, money and even lives because of this cheap and affordable sentence *I am sorry*. It simply cost only a breath of speech.

Have you ever wondered why domestic violence is less pronounced in the western world? It is simply because they understand the efficacy of *I am sorry*.

Husbands say it to their wives and even children whenever they err, wives and children do the same and life goes on fine.

Friends, this is simply a piece to encourage us to cultivate a habit of saying *I am sorry.* It is difficult but readily affordable.

FORGIVENESS RELEASES THE FORGIVER FROM THE BONDAGE OF BITTERNESS, ANGER AND REGRET


So you are doing yourself a GREAT FAVOUR if you forgive before they even ask you or show remorse..... ITS WISER TO BE STRONGER AND GIVE NO ONE THE POWER OVER YOUR EMOTIONS OR MIND. LET THEM GO AND STAY FREE.

UN-FORGIVENESS IS A SELF-MADE- PRISON

Short answer: No, sometimes yes.

Long answer: it doesn't matter who the person is, I don't always demand apologies but it becomes annoying when the person behaves in demeaning ways on multiple occasions and won't apologize. In my experience, it's common with women especially when you are in a relationship. I remember my ex not saying sorry but I never cared for the sorry but were I to do something so little as a wrong joke, she would take it so serious till I say sorry. Well, I'm not in those shoes anymore.

I'll say yes. You don't have to wait for her to be remorseful, before forgive. Because at the end of the day you would still have to forgive. Save yourself the head/heart aches. Just do it.
