You walked down the alley and bump, knocked someone off his shoulder. Seeing that he looked like a bad-kind-of-guy, you quickly brushed his shoulders clean and apologised as many times as you could until he walked away satisfied. You watched him move steadily away and breathed in relief..
When you got home, you ran into your younger sister who rushed to open the door for you. "Get out of my way," you said. She was hurt - not only did she tried to please you, she realised that she was a nuisance for you..
When we meet a stranger, how easy it is to say 'Sorry' when we have offended him/her. But how hard it is to apologise to our own family members every time we wronged them..have you ever realised this?
It is true; strangers are people not known to us, so we won't know how they will react if we do something wrong against them. For that we apologise. Family members are those we live with..but this does not mean that if we know how our family members will react, we can just wrong them any way we like, and not apologise. This is wrong! Our family memhers are humans too, they have feelings just like those strangers we meet.
Why is it so hard to say 'Sorry' to our parents, siblings or relatives..? Yet it is so easy for that 5-letter word to be said in front of those we do not know so well? We should not have this kind of thinking. Won't you want others to apologise to you when they have wronged you, especially if they are your family members?
We might have just hurt their feelings a few minutes ago too, have we apologised?

I went mad yesterday on a Form Five guy who was very innocent and I have to apologise because he's innocent.
That's very humble of you to admit you're on the wrong. Keep it up, God knows your intentions best.=)
