I apologized so often that it came to the point where my brother told me to stop saying sorry to everyone for everything over things that had nothing to do with me or weren't my fault. My response was: "Alam ko. Tama ka. I'm SORRY." I thought it was my job to keep things together and besides, women are more conscious to think there should be peace. BUT now, my point of view on this subject had changed. Apologies don't always equal peace especially when those apologies are insincere or unnecessary. I should not say sorry when I've done something wrong and it was my intention to do it.
I will-and never should apologize for:
- My opinion.
- Refusing to compromise my integrity
- Almost bumping into someone in a doorway. I should just say "Excuse me."(haha!)
- Being educated and behaving accordingly
- Needing time ALONE(because it's what keeps me sane!)
- Not tolerating bad behaviour
- If in the process of correcting your rude behaviour, I slightly insulted you. If you are acting on a considerate manner, I wouldn't have insulted you.
- Being right.
- Being ME.
--Sorry seems to be the easiest word but for me, I'd probably think twice when and where to use it. :)
Yours truly,
ME.
