An apology may be acceptable to one section of society and be totally unacceptable to others. Let’s take a closer look at some of the apologies making the round these days. Religious apology: A religious apology is tendered to wriggle out of a controversial situation and keep your religious ego intact. Sports apology: It comes handy after a crushing defeat. One can afterwards easily shift the blame to other players, coaches, the pitch, weather conditions, etc. Student apology: This entails promising falsely to your teacher that you will not repeat the offence, knowing very well that you will create bigger trouble next time. Apology to wife: Used most often but remains the most meaningless apology. Public apology: Apologise to that section of the public, which has nothing to do with the issue. A shopkeeper was once praying in a temple and asking for forgiveness. "God pardon me, I have sinned because I have always cheated my customers. Please forgive me." A man standing next to him, who was his customer, said, "Yes, God, please forgive him for he is a sinner". The shopkeeper lost his temper. "How dare you call me a sinner? Only I have the right to call myself a sinner."
