You don't have to see eye-to-eye to walk hand-in-hand. You just have to want to go in the same direction.
We rarely wrestle with apology and lose.
Apologies have more power than most of us realize to restore strained relationships, free us from vengeful impulses, and create possibilities for growth.
An apology informed is good; an apology performed is better.
Apology is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is life.
Apology is both transactional, in that it restores what has been broken to what it was before, and transformational, in that it creates opportunities that didn't exist before.
