Turns out they really had no sorrow, and as the years passed I reflected that he Was Actually describing more what he could do, might do, has done; that he was “apology capable”. ha But the actual regret, sorrow, vow to change, etc was never included, YET still “alluded to”.

It ultimately struck me as a cultural placation technique for those with no actual regrets nor empathy. TODAY a tag on my electric meter says the meter was upgraded and I had a brief power interruption because of it. The last line is “We apologize for any inconvenience”. And so where IS the apology?! Do I have to call them to get it? Maybe my redemption coupon blew away ~ha.

I know, it has become the “modern” lingo, and is “standard fare”, but That is the problem, insincerity is the growing “standard fare” too, and I say it is good to have more honest communication when repairing “a problem”, than using metaphors, misnomers, and Euphemisms.

Yet, maybe to go with the flow I will start writing “We pay bills by check” with no check in my invoice envelopes, or saying “I give rides” to the hitchhikers as I drive by.

Hypocrisy comes to mind when describing a man who said “be warmed, be filled” to his brethren, yet walked away. Yep, talk is cheap, and “we apologize” is even cheaper.
