well i go by the adage - never say never ๐Ÿ˜ณ but talking about verbal apologies in this context hmmm its kind of a tricky situation

personally, i do agree (somewhat) - "sorry" when used for your loved ones seems like a forced ritual something that is an impromptu response on which societal perceptions of one's demeanor are based

my mum always tells me, not to apologize but to watch and think before i say or do something, and that will be enough for her. i still have not learnt to defy these insignificant social rules taught in school and unmistakably say "sorry" even when i bump into a piece of furniture ๐Ÿ˜†

but again it all depends upon the nature of crime or extent of hurt or damage caused that makes formal verbal apologies inevitable

the point is, when you hurt your loved ones - more than them, you hurt yourself in the process - seeing your loved ones hurt is more of a punishment to you than to them

so yeah the statement holds true - never HAVING to say sorry - as in think twice before you act or speak to save yourself the ordeal of going through the pain you inflicted upon your loved ones. never give yourself the chance to apologize - loosely translated as never make mistakes - at least not grave ones, which would make apologies inevitable ๐Ÿ˜ณ

It is true that sometimes the level of understanding is soo much that you dont need words like sorry or thank you...but even amongst best friends we say thanks or sorry not because we dont know how the other feels or how its manners but because it reassures the person that YES I am listening and appreciating your efforts.....I dont agree with the author....because truthfully at one point, everyone wishes to hear a thank you or sorry......it doesnt have to be extravagant but just a simple gesture....or you dont even need to say but express it.....cuz that is wht makes a person feel wanted, needed and appreciated.....WE are human being....we need the love and appreication to go on sometimes :)

your answer and the explanation are entirely and absolutely opposite..hope you realize that...
having said that,i agree with your explanation...so your answer should have been something like"it's ok not to say sorry",bcoz anyways the other person understands us...



Oh...I see what you're saying...but ๐Ÿ˜Š:

When I said I disagreed I meant that I believe love does require saying sorry because only through these said words can the "compromise" I talk about show through ;) Sometimes words are the key to opening the thoughts of the mind :D

Thanks for your response though...I appreciate it!!๐Ÿ˜‰
