This is a lesson for life.
Apologies, they must not be taken lightly. This is serious business. When you apologize to someone, it must be sincere. To be sincere, you must mean it. You cannot just say sorry, because someone is mad, or the consequences of your actions. You must truly feel remorseful for whatever you did, or said; and truly intend to not repeat said action.
This is something, I have never been good at. I apologize often, and I do mean it when I apologize, and am sincere; but I often then repeat whatever said action was. That then cancels out the apology in my eyes, and makes it meaningless. At that point, it becomes too late to apologize. You can't repeat an apology. An apology is an all or nothing moment. You either mean it or you don't. If you mean it, you have to show it. Actions speak louder than words.
When you apologize, and then your re-nig on it, you're only making yourself look like a liar. I am not a liar. You make your apologies empty, meaningless words, that no one should accept. Make your apologies worthy of being accepted. Make them real. Make them sincere, from your heart to theirs.
Lesson for life....make apologies real, in your heart, in your actions, in your words.
