Claibrone's
heartfelt apology reminded me a little of Donald Miller's story of the «confession booth,» recounted in Blue Like Jazz, in which Miller and a group of young Christians apologized to their Reed College classmates for everything from the Crusades to televangelists.
«So the next time you offend someone, take a moment to
remind yourself of what matters in your life, then try your hand at offering a nondefensive,
heartfelt apology.
