Sorry I Said Sorry

Say it again and again… and again

I say “Sorry” when I really mean “Excuse me.” Or “I didn’t mean that.” Or even “This is awkward.” I say it so often for those things that it loses all meaning… especially when is warranted.

Let’s apologize for nothing.

Sorry, I don’t like that movie. Sorry, I like ketchup (not mustard). Sorry, I think that’s the fastest way back. Sorry, I found a new beverage I like better. Sorry… I just said sorry again.

Let’s apologize for nothing.

Sorry, I cut down all the trees for profit. Sorry, I made sure we continue to rely on a dirty and dangerous form of energy that will keep sparking wars and keeping our society vulnerable. Sorry, I poisoned the populace to make sure they don’t think too much or fight back.

Let’s apologize for “nothing.”
