Are apologies always good?

sorry, apologies, consequence

Here's an interesting take (playing devil's advocate) on the consequences of apologies. Apologies can either mend fences or break them down.

Have you ever apologized and made the situation worse?

Hmmmm.. interesting take on apologies. I think in this case the apology would be to make the offender feel better about the situation, rather than the person offended.

I do disagree with the responder, implying that you should only apologize if it is going to improve the quality of life for the person offended. I think that if someone really feels like they have wronged someone, they should apologize to get it off their conscience. Just my take on it.
