Know when to say sorry or thank you
Know when to say, sorry or thank you.
Abraham Daljang Maker.
Some people do not know how to express their apology when they hurt someone or show gratitude when they are helped. My friend Simon is not exception. He hardly says these words and in any case, he would say; “I like that fucking help of yours, or I will not do that bullshit to you again.” I sometimes wonder why he always uses vulgar words.
Naturally, people brand him as a nuisance boy and look at him as an annoying dude who lacks courtesy. In fact, he swore never to appreciate or apologize to anyone no matter what happen. To some extend, his words would only fit in the contemporary slang which youths normally use in conversation, it is better to know who one is talking to in order to make choice of words, which is very important in communication skills. Informal language can be used when talking with your age mates but formality is very significant when speaking to elders.
Knowing when to apologize or appreciate is worth than a golden necklace, and people will know that you are conformed to the moral standard of a given society. Every dialect has got its own polite words. Whoever shows courtesy lives a happy life and gets friends wherever he turns. Nevertheless, to some people; it’s like being inferior and coward. Nothing soothes like someone who appreciates your help. It softens the ground for future request and creates distraction. Getting help and walk away without showing your gratitude is offensive and it hurts the giver. Politeness is the best policy and it is the virtue that everyone strives to attain. In the same way, when someone feels sorry for his action, it is easier to forgive and forget.
In Luke 17:15-19, Jesus healed ten men who had skin disease but only one of them returned to give thanks to Jesus. The first reaction from the Messiah was that; “where there not ten men who were healed? Where are the other nine? Is this the only one who returns and gives thanks to God?” he asked. In this Biblical context, it is worth notice that courtesy is paramount and the basic element of human nature.
I was one day embarrassed when my friend teased me because I thanked him for giving me a glass of water. “Don’t be so stupid dear, how can you thank me just because of a mere glass of water? I am your friend and there is no need for you to give me thanks,” he said. I just shrug and remain motionless with feeling of shame. It does not matter who helps you or whatever help it is. But what matters is to be grateful to everyone who is kind to you; whether your mother or father. One can only thrive on well if he knows when to use these two words.
However, in case you hurt someone, you ought to apologize if you did not intend. But some people will not listen to your apologies. Instead, you will hear words like; “sorry after danger! I don’t want to listen to your nonsense!” therefore it is better not to talk much because it will be like rubbing salt into a fresh wound. It depends on the degree at which you hurt that person and his temperament. In order to avoid quarrels, you need to be polite all the time whenever you hurt some one. Your good behaviors will let that person know that you did not hurt him purposely.
