I find it slightly irritating when someone apologizes to me for the sole reason of moving on themselves from their wronging me. It’s not situations where I’m holding resentment so strongly I refuse the apology—the apology is simply sour, false; a last resort to rid one’s self of guilt. It’s not genuine, I won’t tolerate it.
This Week’s Theme: Apologies
“Apology is only egotism wrong side out.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes
“It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.” - P.G. Wodehouse
“Why must conversions always come so late? Why do people always apologize to corpses?” - David Brin
