One thing an apology is, is a sign of guilt.
You have to be battered, beat up and crying to realise that fact. OR Flipside
You have to have done a lot of battering, beating up and stoneface bastard-like ignored a lot of crying to realise that fact.
There are a lot of people out there who owe others more than JUST that apology they publicly gave to them.
There are those who have hurt others and never said a thing, choosing the ignore option(people have witnessed them do that) - above that perhaps, they stamp on you and don't say a thing. They are the real reason terrorists exist... (If they exist.) How has it come to this? Quite simply how far does your shout/appeal of wrongdoing travel and how threatening are those others. The people think because the world is not at war it is better; no, the old rules still apply for some, whilst the rest go on obliviously either not getting in their way or if they do, hurting or others colding their hearts because of it...
You know the thing about apologies too, they are unconditional. Think everybody allready knows that though. No when's, no ifs, no as soon as, they are just there...
