Sorry
Such a little word, such a bigger attempt at sincerity.
Sorry. One word, so many meanings.
The bible tells us that God wants us to forgive anyone 7 times 777. In math, that means I need to forgive one person 5,439 times before I can tell them no way, not this time.
Although the bible says nothing of the severity of the item said sorry for. What if the issue is so large that it takes all 5,439 sorrys to make it better? What if the 5,439 sorrys aren’t enough to make it right?
What if something so bad was done that the very fiber that holds one together was tampered with? What if that person could never trust again because of it? Or even love again because of it? What if the ’something’ that happened is so bad that it effects the life and beyond of one so badly they are questioning the purpose for anything and everything. Is there a sorry big enough to consolidate all that?
I don’t have the answer to any one of these questions. I know though, no matter what, lives have been changed, the romantic is gone and the rotted, decayed rock is all that remains.
Sorry, what if there are no words to describe the pain one feels to even understand how or what to do to create the sorry?
Life is sorry. Sorry is love. And death is all the remains of the life that was once capable of sorry.
