I heard that many years ago -- "Apologies Never Contain the Word 'But'"
Naturally, it's a generalization, but the meaning is that a sincere apology is pretty simple.
It's not, "I'm sorry I said that, but you never should have ....."
In marriage, Church, business, family..... when we are truly sorry for something we did, it should be stated clearly and should not be a preface to blaming somebody for our own actions.
I love it when we, on Tweb, make a clear apology for something we did or said or typed. I'll almost ALWAYS amen that. (except, of course, the phony apologies that will now be offered in attempt to gain an amen.)
On a lighter note, it puts me in mind of Fonzi's "I was wrrrrr.. wrrro... I was wrrrroooo... ok, so I wasn't exactly right!"
A sincere apology will, indeed, admit we were wrong.
