Apologies anyone?
Here is something taken from "The Man Upstairs" by P. G. Wodehouse.
It is a good rule in life never to apologise. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
Well, I totally live by it. I despise apologies if they are not followed up with corrective actions and I would rather make things better than apologising. But well, thats just me. I would really like to know what others think of this statement.

Very interesting perspective. I feel apologies are not ver useful either. They might help in resolving conflict or making things seem 'alright' for a bit, but then they have to be followed by actions to make a difference! Like they say, "Actions speak louder than words!".

I'm sorry.... I don't think there can be an excuse to not apologise for ur mistakes.... U may feel sorry for having done something wrong and then it would be useless untill u had a chance to follow it up with the appropriate actions to prove it.... But a simple heartfelt word can make that difference, then and there. To wait for someone to DO SOMETHING to prove hes sorry doesn't make " to Forgive devine" just human.

i am unsure on this apology issue..
recentlly someone veryy close to me hurt me in a way..when i expressed me feelings and anger he/she refused to apolgise.. n said that he/she can maybe accept their fault or see my pt of view but whatever they did whenever they did, they did for a reason and see an apolog as insincere/pointless..
