No apology is equal to the task set before it.
Apology is the practice of extending ourselves because we value the relationship more than we value the need to be right.
You can't talk your way out of a situation you acted you way into.
We value apology in the abstract, but turn our backs on it in practice.
An apology informed is good; an apology performed is better.
Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.
