[quote=Esper]
Why does one apologize for misunderstanding and simply not clarify. Misunderstandings do happen and have no malicious intention on my part. Why then would I be sorry for an act that was a result of different thought processes. It isn't that I never say sorry. It is that I apologize when I am sorry. Not when I am not.

Matter of taking into accounts other people's feelings, ya know? *shrugs* And sometimes that apology helps mend things.
