What's an Apology Worth?

depends what wrong is, but normally to me an apology shows that the person is being sincere and that they know they did you harm.

It depends on the sincerity of the apology and the extent of the wrong done to me.
An apology may stop me from hating a person and talking shit whenever I hear their name, but if they did me wrong enough it wouldn't change my feelings toward them. An apology is just closure. It doesn't have to change anything.

What does it mean to you if someone does you wrong and apologizes later?

It totally depends on the circumstances.

Examples: If someone doesn't know I am behind them and they spin around and I catch an elbow in the eye and end up with a black eye and they apologize, everything is Kool and the Gang. It is like it never happened. In fact, it being an accident I would not even need an apology for everything to be Kool and the Gang.

If a girlfriend, fiance or wife doesn't come home some night because she fucks some guy and then later apologizes, she had better be able to move in with whoever fucked her or have someplace else lined up because she would be out of my life for good.

An apology, sincere or not, can only make up for so much, it can only assuage so much pain and suffering. There is a point where once beyond it no apology can ever be enough to make things right.

...I think people can usually sense a sincere apology. In some ways it is made real by actual repentance. You don't have to see the biblical slant of that word. Here it just means that a person is sorry enough not to do the offense again. Almost to the point of adopting a personal creed about it. I also feel that the person who receives an apology is faced with a responsibility.

An apology is only worth what your willing to forgive,Even though some deeds are much more costly from principle alone.Its up to you to realize what its worth when its being said,or sincerety thereof.
 
People are humans and therefore make mistakes. It's apart of the growing process regardless how stupid it all may seem. It's just out nature to fuck up. How u take those mistakes afterwards is on you. Learning and moving on us the idea and if the person is sincere or you believe so then you should take that for what it is. I guess it would be all about how genuIne they are. But everyone makes mistakes...

How do you know they mean it?
When i have fights or arguments with my gf and i know i did wrong, i apologize and change my ways that caused that argument. If i dont change them, then my apology was not meaningful and vice versa. Change in character is what i look for when someone apologizes to me, if there is no change, i know they were not being honest.

Why do you feel it changes anything? What does it change?
Sticking to the example above about me and my gf, i remember i was a huge asshole at first cause i didnt want a gf, but with time i started to really like my gf and eventually, i fell in love with her. I did apologize for my lack of character and decided to change my ways cause she is worth it. We are very happy today with each other and enjoy being around one another everyday. I have not been an asshole with her since that day, the change was necessary if i wanted to be happy.


When you getting an avatar son?
I know bro, I cant find one i really like... i will make an effort to find one today...
 
If you aren't sure if they are sincere, then I would assume you have bigger problems. If I can't trust you or your feelings..I'm done. Plain and simple. What is a relationship when you are constantly questioning their actions?? I just can't do that. I need peace and life is short ya know. Its just been my personal experience anyways. Besides, you have to get that starter marriage out the way ya know..its only tradition :D

Depends who it is giving the apology, and for what misdeed committed.

I have some friends that would rather cut their balls off than apologize for something. An apology from them is worth more than an apology from some ditzy drunk beotch that spills her drink on me at the bar, and slurs "OMG I'm sooooo sorrry...."

I'm a grudge holder myself. Don't get me wrong I'll forgive lots, but cross the line once and that's it. No apology, or amount of talking will ever change my mind.

Just feed her to your pigs.
