Too Good to Apologize?

Private

I know few people who would flatly assert their goodness makes an apology unnecessary. (OK, I don’t think I know anyone like that.)

But if I changed the focus from words to attitudes, then some folks I know come across as just being too good to apologize. I would even have to acknowledge that my own heart isn’t above such prideful self-righteousness.

Last night I came up with three short statements on the subject…

If you’re too good to apologize sincerely, you’re not good enough. Maybe an alternate version of that strikes you better: “If…you’re too bad.”

If saying you’re sorry is beneath you, you’re lower than you realize. Corollary: “If…you aren’t high enough.”

If asking forgiveness isn’t your thing, you don’t have enough things yet. A variation of that: “If…you better acquire one.”

What good statements on apologizing do you know?
