Miracles the magic word “sorry” can do !

We are pleased by simple gestures or expressions in many occasions in daily life.We may be even at the height of anger, irritation, restlessness and even be fretting and frowning ! Even under such turbulent situations a simple word like ‘sorry’ is often enough to act like a cannon of water from the hose of a fire fighter that can douse the flames of an inferno.Just an instance many of us might have come across is  what I want to discuss in this blog

You are driving on a high way with your hands on the wheel and fingers tossing on it in rhythm to the tune of a melodious song in the stereo.You are perfectly on track and all of a sudden a vehicle zoomed past you on the wrong side and you were simply caught unawares and heard a small eery noise hardly noticeable and in the whip of a second, that vehicle was far ahead of you and the adrenaline started rushing in you and you were about to cry, shout and yell, honk the horn, all in a frenzied attempt to stop him.But imagine for a while that the vehicle stopped and the person got off it and started approaching you.You too turned off the engine, ready for a brawl and to teach him a lesson.The man came closer, laid his hands on the doors ,peeped in and said “ I am sorry sir, the  fault is mine” ! I need not explain what could be your reaction . I am sure in at least 90% of cases, one would say, “its alright, your anger melting like a chunk of ice kept in the open at noon on the hottest day of the year !

So the magic word “ sorry” and admission of a mistake committed often solves so many tensions in our daily lives for us and for all those around.
