According to Osho, an apology is largely ego diplomacy: yesterday anger wounded the other’s ego; today apology flatters it to neutralize the hurt. The deeper the apology, the more the other’s pain is soothed—but your inner anger and unconsciousness remain untouched. Apology repairs social fallout, not the root. Real change requires understanding and transforming anger, not compensatory flattery.
Saying sorry mostly makes the other person feel better, but it doesn’t fix the anger inside you.
