Thank You and Sorry

-


Most Asians speak English as a second language, and for a few, it might be a third. We may not have learned the importance of each word as diligently. Those who learned English as their primary language were taught the importance of each word. That is why most people who have English as their primary language say "sorry" less often. Because, to say 'sorry' too often is not humility but a failure of judgement.

"Thank you" and "sorry" are the most important and most frequent words we all know. We should really emphasize the usage of both. We need to show gratitude for no matter how small the things or events, and apologize only and only when it is required. So, "sorry" is a very big thing. The value of "sorry" relies on its usage. It is okay to say "thank you" for small things, but it is not okay to casually say "sorry."

These are magical words. If you genuinely feel that things could have been better, that you were unintentionally part of some sad story, or that because of you someone was hurt ,  you would have been harsh at times. You would have cheated. You would have left for some reason. You would have realized your mistakes. You would have truly felt that things could have been handled differently. Anything and everything might have happened. Now, in the complete chaos of life, we always have a small role to play. We need to use it carefully. Ask for "sorry," apologize for everything you felt you were part of, or for whatever reason. Yes, this will not change anything, but a sincere apology may heal someone. It may alter things around you. If you carry your mistakes, you might spoil your surroundings, and it goes further as a chain. The good man apologizes not to erase the past, but to restore harmony.

Yes, it is a selfish thought. It might help others around you who are not part of that, or in another way, it will make you a better person than before, which eventually helps the complete chain. It makes better living beings. No one is perfect. No one is inherently toxic as such. Situations, surroundings, and life experiences make a person take decisions. I personally believe that most people will not intentionally plan and execute harm. Share a sincere "sorry," and if it helps others, it is magical. If it does not, it will help at least you. Again, it is magical. 

I realized when I learned to say "thank you" to the bus driver in Barlborough, UK, how much importance we need to give to those around us using the word "thank you." I had never thanked the bus drivers or bus conductors who struggle and spend a lot of effort managing day-to-day journeys. I started using it and stopped saying "sorry" frequently.

Gratitude is the mark of a civilized soul. The bus driver does not need your thanks, but you need to give it 

Let us think and say "sorry." It is okay not to think and say "thank you."
