“Apology is really important, because when I apologize to you for something I’ve done, you see me squirming. You see me uncomfortable. You see me trying to reassure you that I’m not going to harm you in the same way again. You see me giving you respect as a human being with feelings. And all of a sudden, I’ve turned on a lot of the slider switches that make forgiveness happen in your head.” ~Michael McCullough from Getting Revenge and Forgiveness Photo by Bethan Phillips / Flickr, cc by-nc-nd 2.0
