When we are alone on a starlit night, when by chance we see the migrating birds in autumn descending on a grove of junipers to rest and eat; when we see children in a moment when they are really children, when we know love in our own hearts; or when, like the Japanese poet, Basho, we hear an old frog land in a quiet pond with a solitary splash - at such times the awakening, the turning inside out of all values, the "newness," the emptiness and the purity of vision that make themselves evident, all these provide a glimpse of the cosmic dance. ~ Thomas Merton
Sorry and Thank You don't mean a thing especially when u don't mean it. Sorry also becomes more insincere when u always do it but think by saying sorry everything is always going to be alright.

But then again if u think about it? How can we prove that we really mean it when we saying thank you or sorry? I believe that you only mean it when you say sorry if you make a conscious effort to try and not commit the same mistake again. Its difficult I guess but as long as you know that you make the effort not to let the same thing happen again. Then begs the question how do others know you are making the effort to not commit the same mistake? I have been in the situation where I do make the same mistake again unintentionally and indeed the feeling isn't great especially when u know you've really made the effort to try.
I guess to err only shows that we are all human. Everyone makes mistakes its how you react to the mistakes that counts. How you move on from these mistakes and not shrug it aside when being told by others what you are doing is wrong and think that others are against you. Think S-A-R-A-H. Shock, Anger, Rejection, Acceptance, Help. If you're always at the first three and never reach the last two, then nothing's gonna change. Seek others for help, you can't do it alone. It is hard no doubt about it thats why life's worth living.
