'Because sorry isn't for tomorrow.'


What? Can someone please tell me what that means? Yes, spell it out like I'm 3 years old. Thanks.

"I've lost people before, so when I care about someone I plant a tracking device on them."

Thought it was "Sorry is for tomorrow." And I had absolutely no clue what that was supposed to mean. It really feels like this show tries to be deep and just comes off silly and/or confusing.

You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.

Ok, thanks. Either way, I thought I was going dumb because it made no sense. Glad to know it's them and not me.

I can understand what they are trying to say. "Sorry won't change the past." But if you try to make sense of, "Sorry isn't for tomorrow," I don't think anyone can really make sense of it.

I too am glad I couldn't make sense of it either in total logical terms.

When I can't make logical sense of something and it seems like something I should really pay attention to, I tend to keep thinking of it. So I thought of that saying for hours and hours straight.. including during the time I was watching the rest of the show. I couldn't get the logic of the phrase itself, but I could get the idea they were trying to tell us.

I instantly understood it. It means don't wait to make amends because the opportunity might never come.

"I instantly understood it."

Well I instantly understood what it was trying to say, but I was trying to put together the LOGIC of what the words actually said: "sorry isn't for tomorrow."

Glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't see the logic there.... mainly cuz it doesn't really exist.

"Sorry isn't for tomorrow, because tomorrow may be too late"

Imo, she means don't dwell on your past mistakes.

This is the best answer I have heard, yet. I'm going to go with it.

I feel like they were trying to have another, "Love means never having to say you're sorry," type of quote. But, this was just not it.

"I've lost people before, so when I care about someone I plant a tracking device on them."

Instantly understood it too.

Bo knew that the lady would change her life in that moment and choose a different path. She not only forgave the lady, but told her not to apologize cause she would more then make up for it in the future.

And she did say "Sorry is not for tommorrow".

reply

Thank you. I was pretty sure that was the quote and your explanation is good.

"I've lost people before, so when I care about someone I plant a tracking device on them."

It means by intention it's best not to carry "sorry" into tomorrow.
