How not to say youre sorry why governments keep getting apologies wrong?

Apologizing is like cleaning up a mess, if you do it wrong, no one feels better.

When governments say they're sorry, it's like when your friend spills juice on the floor and just says "I’m sorry" but doesn’t clean it up. It makes people think, “Are you really sorry? Or are you just saying it to get out of trouble?”

Governments often say they’re sorry without doing anything to fix the problem, like a kid who breaks their mom’s favorite vase and says “I’m sorry” but doesn’t glue it back together.

Sometimes, they even apologize for things that weren’t really that bad. It's like if your friend tripped over a toy and you said "I'm sorry" for something much bigger, like breaking the whole house down.

And sometimes, governments say they're sorry so often that people stop believing them, it’s like when someone says “I’m sorry” every time they trip, but no one really cares anymore. Apologizing is like cleaning up a mess, if you do it wrong, no one feels better.
