Sorry?

Well, I was watching a drama couple of days ago and a leading character said ” if sorry was enough there won’t be laws and jails” and that got me thinking about this teeny tiny 5 letter word.

S-O-R-R-Y sorry a simple word used to express your guilt of doing something wrong. Well that’s the definition I found on the internet but if sorry actually has enough to express that you are guilt of breaking someone’s heart or maybe it just works when you have accidentally dashed into someone…
Our parents teach us to say sorry every time we do something wrong… Our teacher teaches us to say sorry when we have made a mistake… People even say sorry when they burp, because that’s good manners! A little word expressing so many things but is it just enough?

Is it OK to say sorry and move on or Is it mandatory to make it up? I surely would like it if someone who broke my heart would make it up instead of just saying sorry…
So here’s my questions if you don’t already know it – do you expect your heart breaker to make it up to you or is sorry enough?

  1. Well I guess it depends upon the reasons, like if somebody step on my foot(accidentally), a sorry would do. I don't him/her to give me a treat or a gift to make it up for me(though I want). So what am I trying to say is that it depends on the severity of the situation.
