As a child, a simple sorry fixes just about everything. Your mean to a fellow friend or disobey your parents, all you have to say is sorry and that sin is like it never even happened. So as you get older and you learn about worse crimes committed, how do you understand that you can't say sorry and have things be all rosy. As a little girl this is what confused me the most.
My sister and i constantly fought with each other. We both liked to make the rules and neither one of us followed them. My mother would shout at us to apologize and make-up with one another. As soon as we said what was needed, we loved each other again. This happened day after day without fail. I just assumed that when people fought you didn't have to worry about what you said or what you did. In the end you would love each other.
One day my parents got in a big argument and it was like no big deal. Then things were so tense in the house. All cheery I asked if they said sorry and my dad looked at me and told me that sorry was not going to fix things. I just looked at him like maybe he was crazy. I thought about that for days. How could sorry just not be enough. I stopped trying to explain it to myself. I was just thinking my parents were being silly.
Finally as I got a little older, I understood that my parents weren't being silly. My friend and I got in an argument just like my parents did. She said things that I couldn't believe you would say to a friend. I walked off steaming inside. She later told me how sorry she was. I told her that I forgave her, but sorry wasn't going to change the fact that she said those things and that we couldn't be friends. My mind when back to the day of my parents final argument, and I got why sorry just can't change everything.
