    I think the problem with such circumstances is that it actually takes a lot to apologize after jumping to conclusions.

This is why apologies have such power. When I feel they are appropriate, I use them with abandon.

Somehow an entire generation has grown up thinking that apologizing diminishes you somehow, rather than enlarging you. I wish I knew where it started, because then maybe we could stop it.
