Apologizing is a bad habit. How scary it is when God says: “Move away! They said that they would be treated for toothache, but everyone, sorry, was put in gynecological chairs

How scary it is when God says: "Move away!"

I want to shout again:

"Lord, you did not recognize me, wait a minute" -

But His gaze will be stern.

Then suddenly the words will rain down:

“Do you remember that you served you for a long time,

And my head became gray

From doing duty.

I attended the meetings carefully,

And the instructions of the brothers,

As Your will, I always accepted,

I wore a dress in shape.

I said "I'm sorry" to everyone when I could

Flare up and offend someone.

And gossip, what a malicious whisper

I tried not to hear, not to see.

He gave, not sparing, his clothes,

Without benefit that lay,

And how diligently I, God, I sing-

Listen just a little.

Well, tell me, I didn’t serve You,

Doing all the laws? "

And suddenly it will thunder: “You did not love Me,

I never knew you.

You judged everyone in your heart,

And he was simply a hypocrite

And in vicious thoughts he was a liar,

At least on the surface it seemed an example.

He threw words of instruction behind his back,

Insincere, cunning saint,

Not to my will, you pleased people,

So what do you want now? "

Oh no, it is impossible to deceive the Creator,

He knows His creatures -

All the hidden thoughts in the minds

He reads motives in his hearts.

You shouldn't try to deceive Him

Washing the cup from the outside,

But - to cling to His will with obedience,

Transforming character ...

Emmanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron asked for forgiveness from the widow of the fighter for the independence of Algeria, Maurice Auden, Josette Auden, whose husband was tortured and killed by French soldiers in 1957. Thus, the country's responsibility for the death of Auden was officially recognized.

Auden was a Franco-Algerian lecturer in mathematics at the University of Algeria. He also participated in the anti-colonial movement and advocated for the independence of Algeria. On June 11, 1957, soldiers of the French army came to Auden's home. They arrested the activist, after which he disappeared.

His wife, Josette Auden, was not aware of her husband's fate until she was told that he had escaped from prison. In 2014, former French President François Hollande admitted that Auden had died in captivity.

Algeria was a French colony for almost 150 years, and in 1954 supporters of the country's liberation raised an uprising, which was brutally suppressed by the French colonialists. Despite the fact that the Algerians lost the war, France recognized the country's independence. The conflict killed at least 500 thousand people.

Stand corrected

Admitting guilt or mistake is an important step, especially if a person is not an ordinary figure in history, but a leader of the state. Someone admits the mistakes of their predecessors, someone - their own. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has apologized to former US leader Barack Obama for swearing at the American president in response to criticism of the anti-drug policy of the Philippine authorities.

In 2002, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder had to apologize to US President George W. Bush for the words of German Justice Minister Hertha Dobler-Gmelin, who publicly compared Bush's political methods to those of Hitler: “By threatening Iraq, Bush wants to divert attention from domestic problems. This is a popular method. Even Hitler did it. " And although Dobler-Gmelin insisted that she did not say that, Schroeder chose to apologize to the American leader.

In April 2003, French President Jacques Chirac apologized to Queen Elizabeth for vandalizing a cemetery in northern France where the remains of British soldiers who died during the First World War are buried. Vandals opposed to the war in Iraq have left many inscriptions on the gravestones, including insults to the American President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

In November 2009, French President Nicolas Sarkozy apologized to the head of the Irish government, Brian Cowen. This time, the feeling of guilt came after the French football team defeated the Irish in the play-offs for the 2010 World Cup, with striker Thierry Henry playing along with his hand. “I expressed my deep regret to Brian Cowen. But do not ask me to take the place of the referee of the French or European football authorities: leave me to go about my business, ”Sarkozy said.

In October 2010, the White House officially apologized to Guatemala for medical research conducted by American doctors in 1946-1948 on local residents. American doctors deliberately infected the inhabitants of the country with sexually transmitted diseases. The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of penicillin in the treatment and prevention of syphilis, in total, more than 1600 people were infected.

On June 27, 2016, the Kremlin's website published an apology from the Turkish president, brought to the head of the Russian state for the downed Russian Su-24 plane. “I want to once again express my sympathy and deep condolences to the family of the deceased Russian pilot and say: sorry,” Erdogan was quoted as saying. Later, a spokesman for the Turkish president confirmed the authenticity of Erdogan's letter, but said the expressed regret was not an apology. The next day, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the Russian translation was 100% consistent with the Turkish original.

) I have already told you what polysemy “ça va” and “oh -l à-l à” have in French. Here are a couple more ambiguous words:

3. Pardon [sorry]

Do you think that this is "sorry"? I thought so too. In fact, it all depends on the situation and intonation. For example, you started confusingly explaining to the saleswoman that you want the same one, but with mother-of-pearl buttons. And mother-of-pearl buttons have never been delivered to their boutique, and the saleswoman does not know what they look like. Then she will look at you in surprise and say: "Sorry?" And in this case it means: “What did you heap up there? I didn't understand anything! Well one more time. "

If there are a lot of people in the metro, and from the depths of the carriage "Sorry ... sorry ...", or even so, chanting - "Par-don ... par-don ...", then this word has a fundamentally different meaning, namely: "Pass, I'm going out now ... let me pass. " If there are a lot of people, then sorry sounds harsh and abrupt: “Sorry! Sorry! " and means already "Yes, move over, I can't get through in any way, I got loose here, you know!"

In France, pardon is most often "exchanged". For example, someone stepped on someone's foot. "Sorry," he says ("Oops, I haven't seen, I'm sorry"). "Sorry!" - they will immediately answer him ("You have to watch where you are going, elephant!").

In shops and public institutions, they are sorry, even if they just walk close. In such cases, "sorry" has an ingratiatingly gallant connotation: "Sorry?" ("Is it okay that I pass you?" - and in response: "Sorry" ("Come, of course"). Or even so: "Sorry?" ("Hello, wonderful weather today, don't you think?") - and in response: "Sorry" ("Yes, the weather is wonderful, and you are very nice too").

4. Excusez -moi [excusez-moi]

Many people think that pardon (official meaning "sorry") and excusez -moi (official meaning "sorry") are synonyms, but they are not. I don’t know how this difference is explained in the textbooks, I’ll tell you this: sorry they usually say when they’ve done something (they didn’t understand, they stepped on their feet) or they’re doing now (they climb to the exit, bypass), but excuse-mua when they are only going to mess up. For example, you are walking down the street, and someone followed you and persistently repeats: “Excuse-mua. Excuse-mua ". He hasn't done anything yet, but be sure, if you stop or turn around, he will immediately ask for money. Or dates. Or the road, but this is less common. And the intonation is appropriate: “Stop. Wait, I tell you. Stop, finally! " And sometimes homeless people in the subway chant: "Excuse-moa-ah-ah, ekskuze-mua-ah-ah", and then it means: "Come on, good people ... come on at mercy, damn you all. "

Of course, I summarized everything here, there are other cases of use, but in general, something like that. If anyone did not please, sorry.
