We all make mistakes but many times, we end up saying sorry for things that we don’t even owe an apology for.

There are also times when we intend to say something else but for the lack of a better reaction, end up saying sorry. To let go of this guilt-factor, Yao Xiao, a Chinese artist based in New York, created some illustrations that show a different perspective to apologising.
