Sorry I Have To Say This, But Sorry Just Doesn't Cut It

How many times do you hear the words I'm sorry and genuinely stop and think about it? My answer would be zero. Apologies have lost all their meanings. I would like to attribute this to the over use of sorry for everything.  We say sorry for every little thing even if it isn't our fault. Some might say we do this out of courtesy but I think it's to relieve some of the awkward tension in social situations. At my place of employment I catch myself apologizing for little things that I can't change. Then when I go to apologize with sincerity, it loses its meaning and effect because we are used to hearing it and dismissing it. We also apologize for things that are out of our hands when we really mean we feel compassionate or sad for their situation. We need to use sorry for the right things and save our sorries for the important stuff. Just try one day to catch yourself from saying "I'm sorry" for the small stuff, things that aren't your fault, or when you mean you feel bad for them.
