A word that is easy or difficult for us to utter. When someone apologize, whether it is genuine or fake I think we must accept it. It is just difficult to restore the trust that once broken and it takes time or never—especially if it really hurts and cause us trouble.

Right. Once hurt or cheated by someone, it difficult to trust that person again

I agree with @toniganzon. I cannot stand people who present fake apologies, only to show that they are good people and sorry for what they did.

And fake apologies always show. We, women can always tell when it's fake and when it's sincere. It always shows anyway. And we would also be fake if we accept that knowing full well the we are just fooling each other.

@toniganzon I fully agree with you. I can immediately feel when it's fake and I would feel hypocrite accepting.

@ZedSmart ~You are right, apologizing is very difficult for most people.

I always apologize sometimes when things aren't even my fault just to keep the peace.

@ZedSmart I do not hesitate even a moment to apologize if I realize mistake is mine. However, after tolerating so much, some one's apology won't make any difference in me. It does not mean I can't accept apology. But there is a limit for anything.

Do we have to accept it all the time? I don't think so. Especially when the apology is a fake one. Because that kind of apology isn't an apology at all.

@ZedSmart You can always tell when someone isn't sincere in apologising unless you're blind or a fool.

How can we distinguish if the person's apology is genuine or fake? Out of being civil, I might accept the apology but will not give my full trust anymore. If I'd no longer give my full trust, can the people presume that I hadn't forgiven the person even if I accepted the apology? The situation and the extent of fault may not be the same.

@toniganzon There are just master on faking it. It seems the sincerest but part of acting to make believe the witnesses that they are truly repentant. This is not happening in the drama alone. Like for example when you brought the situation to "barangay" justice. You will made an amicable settlement there and they even make sorry in front of those people. Anyway, if you don't like amicable settlement, you can always elevate it to court.
