Sorry: feeling sorrow, regret, or penitence


Why do people say sorry but not make an effort to show that they are truly feeling sorry for the things they did or for something they should have done but did not do. After the sorry is said,life goes on as usual - no change or rather, no improvement.

Action surely does speak louder than words. To show sincerity, one must make a conscious effort to express regret and penitence, failing which 'sorry' does not mean anything.
