Say you're sorry

"Farrah's Story" will just keep filming, Ryan O'Neal says according to a report in K'Brocking Entertainment. Ryan O'Neal was the actor who starred in the 1970 romantic drama film - Love Story. The film, well-known as a tear-jerking tragedy, is considered one of the most romantic of all time by the American Film Institute (#9 on the list), had a line from the film which had entered popular culture : "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

To me, true love isn't "never having to say you're sorry." It's being willing to say you're sorry.

A genuine apology is an incredibly effective way of interrupting a fight and turning it into a cooprative venture. It won't work though, if it's not genuine. The lack of sympathy will show through and the other party will sense it and feel no better.
