The art of apologizing

Do you apologize when you are at fault or do you let your ego and pride get in the way? Some people are stubborn and cannot admit their wrongs or faults. Do you believe one should apologize if they feel that they did nothing wrong in order to alleviate the situation and make it better? All apologies should be sincere right, otherwise it loses its meaning.
Would you rather have someone who always apologizes or never apologizes when they do something wrong?
What if one person caused someone hurt but doesn't know how they caused it. Should they apologize for the causing hurt or the thing that they didn't know that they did wrong. Sometimes it's good to just man or woman up, swallow one's pride and just apologize, no matter if the other person is willing to accept your apology or apologize in return. I believe that is art of apologizing and true growth in becoming a better person.

I always apologize, and I think it's not right. But still, I apologize even if it's not my fault. I don't want to have fights with the people I love, especially my family. I think, it's one of my flaws. Most of my family members are stubborn. My mom and my 2 sisters. Even if they're at fault, the fight wouldn't end if I didn't initiate to apologize. And I hate it.

I think it's about summing up all your pride and throwing it out of your system so you can apologize truly. Some people just do it so they can move on. It produces the same output but that heavy feeling inside never really lightens up.
