“Oh, you shouldn’t apologize! I was totally at fault.”
This is what guilty conscience makes you say, when a person you had a quarrel with, apologizes first.
No, you’re not sorry, stupid.
You are disappointed. Disturbed that (s)he now has the “self-righteousness” bragging rights, not you.
But, given a second shot at apology, would you apologize first?
No, you wouldn’t do that for anything in the world. Yet, you still want the self-righteousness bragging rights all to yourself...you don't wanna share.
And you’re saying this man with the tattered clothes, unkempt beards, mumbling gibberish by the roadside is mad?
Clap (for) yourself.
