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.
Progress occurs one apology at a time.
We value apology in the abstract, but turn our backs on it in practice.
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.
When we apologize we end our struggle with history.
"I would like to apologize" may sound like an apology, but it is no more an actual apology than saying "I would like to lose weight" makes you suddenly slimmer.
