    Anna Acosta, writing at Auxcord:


    You cannot begin to be redeemed if you do not honestly feel the weight of what you’ve done to others. This is the missing piece of the puzzle. This is why so many react negatively to the delicately-crafted, publicist-approved apologies put out by the “me too’d” who bother even to acknowledge they might have something to apologize for. These statements make it clear that the person in question has no idea what they’re apologizing for. I believe they’re sorry – we all do. But sorry for what? It indeed isn’t for the pain they’ve caused. It’s for the pain they’re experiencing.

    I know this is like old by now but I just have bookmarked it in multiple ways and this thread is just another because it's worthy of revisiting over and over and showing others and trying to drill it into as many heads as possible
