It's really not that easy to say sorry. Often we tend to be biased with our very selves and at times when our actions cause pain on others, we are most likely to reason out on our favor.
I did not expect a thing that I could hurt someone so close to my heart - that's Kuya Manny. He has been so good to me and my gratefulness for his kindness and his family would not suffice to express how happy I have been knowing him and his family. While we were practicing a song, and after having sung it, he flashed on an LCD another hymn , which wasn't really the song that we would practice with the choir. (Kuya Manny had all those PowerPoint presentations made). But the song was great and it's one that has been so familiar with me. So we sang or practiced the song. I saw that some words in there were not the ones I used to sing with my students. And so I told him that it was "wrong" and I thought I was really pressing hard the issue. Then he told me he did not intend it to be that way. He was really hurt when he said that. On my part, there was truly no speck of intention of hurting him or whatever, but then again, I hurt him. Because of the conviction within me that I wasn't purposely turning him down, I said sorry again and again. I was truly profoundly sorry, having thought that despite all his hard works, there I was, simply saying that something was wrong. Anyhow, I was glad that he offered me his hand after all.
"To forgive is divine". Perhaps, so famously known. But there nothing to forgive for anyone who is not sorry at all.
