It seems like one of the first and most important social lessons our parents teach us is to say sorry for our mistakes, especially when we have caused harm. We need positive relationships in our lives. We would also like to maintain a sense of innocence. Our errors can threaten both. Of course we should want to mend fences and make up for our misdoings when possible but there is some evidence that in some instances, apologies are at best ineffective and a worst detrimental to a person’s overall well-being.
Amen, brother!
