This segment philosophically critiques the societal practice of apologising. The author argues that apologies are often performative acts, designed to protect the apologiser rather than genuinely repair harm. They challenge the idea of a "good apology" as a universally effective tool for reconciliation, highlighting the insufficiency of words without accompanying behavioural change. The post suggests that apologies may even be used to manipulate and avoid genuine accountability, placing undue pressure on the wronged party to forgive. Ultimately, the author questions the perceived moral value of apologies within society.
