One of the costliest speeches one could ever hope to
make. The worst of them rob you of your
pride, your
dignity, your very soul; a further cost is the energy used to prevent oneself from further bearating (or physically assaulting) the individual on the receiving end of said apology.
Fuck, dude. If I'd had to look her
ex in the eye and offer an apology, I'd have to surrender my
testicles as
well.
