Sometimes words get a bad rap. And by rap I mean rap sheet. It's like they somehow landed in a group of the wrong friends and got swayed into doing things they should not be doing. But it's not entirely their fault. For me one of those words is "sorry." I used it a lot. Perhaps abused it at times. And by abuse I mean using the word sorry to actually fix. Sorry doesn't fix anything. Never. Ever. Sorry is an opener. It means, "Hey, I'm about to fix this and here's what I'm going to do." It's a waiter at a restaurant who will never cook your great meal but will introduce it to you and describe its contents. Sorry has little substance yet tremendous importance. Granted, when people use the word and never actually to the mending they promised, sorry gets a bad rap. But it's not sorry's fault it got abused. Sorry is still important ... even if a few bad apples tried to spin it otherwise. Try it. But mean it. Your life will be better, I promise.
