When to accept an apology? Four steps required.

Often you hear some people say "oh, I forgive them..." when in fact, the offending party did not even ask for forgiveness. This is the case in Russia today. Not long ago I saw on TV a member of the Romanov family being asked by a Russian reporter if she forgives what Russians had done to Her Family. She looked slightly confused and then answered (rather sheepishly) that of course she does. Well, in fact no one yet has asked to be forgiven for the horrors of the Soviet regime. How can you forgive someone who is not repentant and has not even asked to be forgiven???

Step 1:
Ask for forgiveness. Say "I'm sorry".

Step 2:
Feel remorse for what you've done. Say "I feel really bad for what I (we) did."

Step 3:
Offer restitution. Say "What can I (we) do to make it up to you?"

Step 4:

Say "I'll never do it again".

At this point, one can then decide whether or not to forgive the offending party.

So...I'm still waiting for the government of Russia to do this.
And on top of that, this current Russian government is morally WORSE than the old Soviet one. Why?

The Soviet regime killed and stole property based on ideology.
By what right does this "new" Russian government keep stolen property "nationalized" under the Soviet regime??? It is not (officially) communist. So why does it keep stolen property and the old Soviet laws still in effect?
