You know this is really interesting: the concept of "owing an apology".
If an apology is something to be "given, recieved, traded and/or owed" -
What is the value of an apology? Is it in the giver or the receiver?
What if the apology is "insincere"? How could you tell?
What about regret? Remorse?
If a man is truly sorry for something he did, or something that caused another man pain, would that not be incentive enough to cause that man to go and apologize to the other?
