Apology is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is life.
Apology may be scorned, but it retains its inherent value.
Apology is the practice of extending ourselves because we value the relationship more than we value the need to be right.
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.
When we apologize we end our struggle with history.
An effective apology contains within it the answer to the question, "How am I to be held accountable?"
