Sorry Doesn't Cut It

Honestly, the number one passage I really enjoyed was this most recent passage, "All Apologies". The one thing I remember most about this passage is "sorry doesn't cut it". In reality, sorry rarely does cut it for many things. For me, I tend to forget that telling the truth can hurt people and being mad can cause even worse problems. My father and I are very close. We rarely get in arguments. The one problem I have with getting in arguments is if I become too mad. My blood gets to boiling and my stress level rises and when this happens my voice rises as well. At this point, the best thing for me to do is walk away and the worst thing for some to do is to follow me. When someone does not let me cool off in an argument I tend to say some of the meanest things I can come up with. The one time I have ever been mad at my dad I said "I hope you die when you are 52". To say the least my dad is 52yrs old now and he reminds me of it constantly. We could be joking around and he will bring it up. Each time I my father reminds me of what I said, I think about how even "sorry" doesn't cut it. I regretted it the minute it came out of my mouth. I have never said anything like that to my father but when I am mad I cannot control myself. "All Apologies"  is the one passage that I can relate best to. Biss even states how we owe our parents "unspeakable apologies". The one thing is even though I have apologized for saying that to my father, it still feels like that was not enough to take back what I said.
