申し訳ありません = sorry

seriously,i'm sick and tired of people who constantly say "i'm sorry" but then repeatedly make the same mistake. seriously,if you really want to apologize to someone by saying,"i'm sorry,i'm gonna make it up to you soon,i love you and i care about you" and then repeat the same mistake,i suggest better you get out and get lost!! 


The words, 'I'm sorry' can get us out of trouble when we've done something wrong or hurt someone we care about but the key to a good apology is really meaning it and convincing the other person that you are truly remorseful.  Apologizing just for the sake of keeping the peace is not an effective way to apologize.  In doing so the recipient of the apology will most likely see through you and realize that your apology is insincere.  A sincere and well timed apology, however, will help to mend the relationship that was harmed by your words or actions.


The most important way to prove that you are truly sorry for hurting someone is to ensure that the hurtful action is not repeated.  Apologizing over and over while continuing to make the same mistake shows that your apology is not really sincere.  On the other hand if you really mean that you are sorry for an action you will take careful steps not to repeat this action.  Apologizing for your actions is one thing but being cautious not to repeat your actions really proves that you are indeed sorry.
