When I got in a fight with my sister I used to have to kiss and make up. I hated it. But when I did something wrong as an adult, no one needed to tell me it was wrong. I knew what I needed to do. I just hated to apologize. Fortunately I also discovered—eventually—it felt far better to suffer the embarrassment of an apology than to carry the burden of needing to apologize around.
