Non-apologies
|
Non-apologies Funny what passes for an apology these days. I find humorous those apologies that are focused on the offense felt by the victim but do not express any real regret on the part of the offender. I am sorry you feel that way. Or worse, sorry I was caught expressing my real feelings and intentions... I should have been more reserved... Or the famous "inelegantly stated" apology. Mitt Romney expressed one of these quasi-apologies over his 47% are moochers line... He just said it inartfully. Actually he was fairly clear and elegant I thought. Just impolitic. Seems we have lost the art of feeling actual shame and remorse for doing bad things... Apparently we lost that Christian virtue. |

and then there's the "sorry but". You know... "sorry but it's really all your fault" christians aren't the only religion that have that shame-and-remorse virtue btw... amazingly enough even atheists do too!

Christians make the repent part a big deal.... Not sure other religions make it that central to the experience...

I especially laugh at the "apology": I am sorry you feel that way about it....
