I am SORRY

Why has it become so difficult for us to say this very simple words. "I am sorry". Just because of pride, just because we feel they will say we are too weak, we have arogantly refused peace to reign in our families, relationships and the world at large.
I got to think of it. If people could say simply " i am sorry" or " forgive me" the world would have been in so much peace around.
I believe with these words they would have avoided the world wars which took away so many lives. The lack of forgiveness has destroyed so many homes and left their children straumatized as they can not enjoy the presence and togetherness of both parents in their lives.
If you got a misunderstanding with anyone, and you feel like you hate that person so much that you can not forgive him or her, can you make a list of about ten things that you love and about that same person and just for those reasons. Forgive that person if you can. Let us also keep pride aside always and say sorry.
