Are You Only Sorry You Got Caught?

"I'm sorry" is extremely hard for some of us to say but it can be even harder for some of us to display. And how does one show that they are sorry anyway? Who decides whether there is a right or wrong way to do this? I don't think there's a right or wrong way personally but if someone has to tell you than perhaps you're not truly sorry, maybe you're only sorry for getting caught. I think that a person who is truly remorseful is willing to do whatever it takes(within reason)to show the person that they've hurt or offended just how sorry they are. I say within reason because I've heard people makes some ridiculous request, someone told me their offender should be willing to take a lie detector test and jump through hoops to prove their sincerity, I do not condone this madness. Someone like this will never be satisfied-ever! They will always have that question mark in the back of their minds. Let's talk about the person who is sorry for what they've done, this person is first and foremost willing to right any wrongs if it's possible for them to do. They're willing to come clean about the lies that they've told, they don't plan on lying anymore because they realize the damage that they've caused and they want to be trusted again. A person who is still lying and refuses to admit what they've done plans on lying again and again. Then you have someone who's sorry but to prideful to say it, so they lose the people dearest to them because of their pride. Bottom line we're all wired differently so you have to accept which ever apology that works for you, however if there's still little thoughts gnawing at you once you've accepted an apology don't discard it! It's an alarm-your own personal built in alarm system that's telling you some thing's not quite right, don't ignore it or you'll be sorry.
