A sorry is just too empty these days. One may mean it when he/she says it but some just don't do anything to prove that he/she is sorry. And that makes it so empty. Sorry is already a sad word. People just made it sadder.

Someone said sorry to me... Probably he meant it but it better that he didn't say it. I can't see nor feel the sincerity. The damage has been done. I've already been hurt. And he doesn't do anything about it. He just says, "Sorry...". Am I supposed to feel okay after that? Is it a magic word that all the hurt will fade? Doing something to make amends does not even erase the fact that you've hurt the person. How much more the mere 'sorry'? Really, talk is very cheap...
