Dec 2, 11....Have you ever come upon weak half baked apologies and wished to yourself that it would have been best if none was given at all? Most likely you have. Egos if at work can prevent the full scale variety because of some kind of "power differential" (a very good friend recently used this term) that the apologetic has an interest in maintaining. I contend that it is very easy to be forgiving if contrition is wholehearted. The bonding of people is so much more pervasive when we lay our heart out for unconditional acceptance. You and I have been witness to these kinds of people and in fact you may be one of them. They are everywhere but oftentimes not in the lime light because their peacefulness is expressed in the background subtly picking off the inexplicable darts thrown by others.
Should forgiveness be granted to those expressing an apology perceived as insincere? As the prayer goes, "we forgive those who trespass against us".
