When is the last time someone walked right in, stood up straight, looked you in the eyes and apologized from the deep depths of the heart?

Like, completely swallowed their pride and said “Look, I am very sorry about what I’ve said/done/how I behaved” etc. I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve received a full heart apology. You usually either get a list of exaggerated (and often unrelated) excuses, the blame is pushed onto someone else (or even yourself) or the person will just completely tune out and back away. Or you’ll get a “Well sorry, but… ” followed by more excuses or any of the previously mentioned items. Just curious on what you guys think.

What’s the big deal? We’re human, we make mistakes, why can’t we own up and atone to them? When I do something to somehow hurt/wrong someone, unless I was aggressively provoked, I feel obligated to apologize and ‘right’ or correct my wrongdoing. Thoughts?
