2day I'm gonna write about two very strong words. They're not foul words., not motivational words ,. not words of advice but words of expression of feelings. They're 'Thanks' and 'Sorry'.
I know.., u must b thinkin that these are probably the most heard words during the day. It's jus that many ppl dont really understand the real meaning of these words and their importance while saying them and those who hear them, hear it so often that u can almost say that these words have really lost their value. Look at it in my point of view, and may b u can understand wat I'm tryin to say.

When somebody says thanks to you, or thanks you for something u've done, they're not just happy on the inside., they're very happy and grateful enough to say it out loud. It also means that you shud b happy with yourself to have made somebody so happy. Thanks is for expressing your gratitude to somebody who's done somethin nice 4 u., but it has become merely a word of formality. Ppl say thanks so that the other person doesnt think wrong of him/her., or it just comes out by instinct. I mean., did u ever notice how this flow of words occur very fast ., like somebody gives u a gift or wishes u., then u say thanks and they say dont mention it or somethin like that. It doesnt really come out of the heart.

Now, when u hear the word sorry, thats definitely truble for somebody. Sorry is the word to express sympathy, pity, or regret., mostly in the case of regrettin doin something. I understand., we're all humans., we all make mistakes., but I've seen cases where ppl keep makin mistakes or hurt ppl and then say sorry ., and this routine happens everyday. These kind of ppl surely must have lost the meaning n value of the word sorry. Just think., y say sorry if u were careful enuf in the first place? I don say that I don make mistakes., everybody does., just that a few seconds of right thinking will spare the other person the grief and u will probably not have to go thru the guilt trip.

One poin that has to be discussed here is., shud friends of family members be saying thanks or sorry to each other. These words when said to a friend or family or anyone close., are said to give a feel of kind of a formal relation between the two and may b., in rare cases embarrassment too. I will almost agree with it but at the same time have this feeling that whenever u really feel like thanking somebody for something., or apologizing to anybody.,or anything else 4 that matter., dont listen to ur head., listen to you heart. Do what's right. SAY IT !!! And to those ppl (that includes me too) who say ' no thanks and sorries in friendship'., sometimes ppl wanna say a lot of things and they can't., these two words can mean it all., it doesnt hurt to listen.,so just let them say it.

i hate it when guys who r complete strangers 2 me(whom i meet for the 1st or 2nd time) say "no thank u's and no sorry's between friends".i find it more of a flirting technique than genuine friendship.nice article.
