Apologies are important as oxygen yet useless

Well I’m glad now that whoever you are who said sorry once at some sunny day and really meant it and you felt pretty comfortable afterwards, and let’s admit it, that it’s fine;

I mean what could someone want more, it’s impossible in the end to fix sorry’s events, so why would we want anything else than making the change with people who mess up things around us, that’s the perfect thing to expect,

But why it’s useless even though it’s vital?

Ok let’s say a guest at your house accidentally broke a vase that you bought with your husband from cheap stores and you decided back then for no reason that you want to keep it as a souvenir, it’s a useless thing and an idea you got when you were just shopping anything blindly, but you decided to keep this nonsense moment for ever,

the point is no matter how silly it seems there won’t be any suitable compensation,

And that was just a cheap item we’ve bought one day, how about expensive stuff?! Will you react differently?! How about if it was you what’s broken?! Your heart your feelings, a big portion of your time, career, it could be your life here, tell me now how efficient an apology is? How helping? What difference it makes to you ?

When you accept apologies you give something in return

And it’s not only forgiveness, it’s a green light for more mistakes maybe worse or even a new beginning for a better relationship; as you can see everything is in our hands with a minimum of collective positive willingness we can do miracles after things seems stuck and hard to get over, and we can do a million steps without shortening the distances towards others.
