The Two Words that Run Miles

Done sincerely, an apology is a noble thing.

It tells you that people take responsibility for the outcome of their actions. It tells you that the people you are working on forgiving deserve it in the first place. It tells you that it is time to shift from anger to understanding, and from understanding to acceptance.

Yes, a sincere apology is always a noble thing.
