off-topic People should learn to be more accountable over being apologetic. What is your opinion?

[King Belieal]

At this point in my life, I think the word "sorry" doesn't mean anything to me again. I have come to believe that sorry is very cheap for people to say. But the commitment to make amends so the "sorry" could count, they don't have. Have you seen someone that does the same wrong thing over and over again, and keeps saying sorry?

I think that people should be more accountable by taking responsibility for their actions and truly making a change than always being apologetic every time. What do you think?!

I totally agree. Doing harm and saying sorry mean nothing if you don't pay for your wrong doings.

I totally agree. Doing harm and saying sorry mean nothing if you don't pay for your wrong doings.

Sorry can't do it all and that is the part that a lot of people are failing to understand. It is not a good side to be the person who will always hurt someone and feel that telling them sorry will solve everything.

Being apologetic every time is a manipulative tendency that people use to hurt others with impunity. Call me vengeful but I would never allow people to hurt me and apologize repeatedly. I would always cut such people off promptly.

It is not really about paying for wrong doings. It is more about making positive changes so that the person won't be a constant pain to the other person. You can't be hurting me and be brandishing sorry at my face every time. I won't give you a chance to hurt me again.

Accountability is one of the most important things people should put at the back of their minds. When you take responsibility for your actions and make things right, it's one of the ways to build trust and respect.

I am one person that always tries to feel what the other person felt when I hurt them. I try to ensure that I never get to hurt them again. People that keep being apologetic and keep hurting you are plain wicked.

Being sorry is fine but when it comes to a profession or expertise that you don't have in association with the apology makes it all a different story.

For example, I don't talk to my uncle anymore. I lived with him for quite a while. He is a major alcoholic, he wants full pity for from everyone, he is not interested in hearing your problems-only you are hearing his, and he's really arrogant and sometimes abusive.

He said stuff about my parents that made me block him and no longer communicate.

If we see each other on the streets and he apologized, I'd tell him I forgave him, but I would still keep him blocked. Why? Because he has a problem, alcoholism. I'm not a professional in that area and I can't help him. I'll accept his apology, but I have no interest in being friends until he quits drinking and that is the job of a professional, not me.

The same could go with cheating. You can accept the apology but you're not a marriage counselor and it's not your job to fix that.

That's how I feel about these things.

You break a glass, you say sorry, would the glass be in the same shape? Making mistakes or doing wrong and just saying sorry does not work. Apologizing is certainly helpful but that is not enough to mend things. You need to be accountable for your actions, you need to face the consequences.

I agree people should be aware of accountability over just apologizing. Taking responsibility means learning and fixing mistakes, not just saying sorry.
