"I'm sorry..."

I don't remember the last time I apologized for hurting someone emotionally... including the last time I apologized to Him.

Saying "I'm sorry" means diddly squat. They're just words that are witten and read in the form of writing, that are said in the form of speech, that exist to try to express the emotion of true contrition. But not once has it and not once will it ever portray the essence of that emotion. Not unless it comes with action. Not unless change occurs for the better. Not unless pain, suffering, regret and a sense of nostalgia have already been experienced by both the person apologizing and the person being apologized to.

Words mean diddly squat. But at the same time, words mean everything--especially if a phrase or sentence revolves around the controversial topic of love.

Who or what gives a word it's definition and value?
