When an "apology" isn't an apology

[no_hypocrisy]

This is in response to Lauren Boebert's sham of making an apology to Ilhan Omar.

It isn't an apology if you give a half-hearted "If I may have offended you, I'm sorry."

A real apology has a few requisites:

1. You empathize and try to feel the pain that you caused the other party. You are humbled by your actions and words.
2. You meet with the person you hurt and tell them exactly what the harm you caused him/her/them. You acknowledge your damage.
3. You fully apologize for that harm and damage and admit your wrong and intention.
4. You perform an affirmative action or contrition to try to return him/her/them to their prior status.
5. Obviously you don't do it again.
