the day I read till I feel a lil sick

read newspapers. Not just newspapers, SATURDAY's newspapers.
read 82 pages of Driven By Eternity
Browsed through the entire book on Making Love - The Chapman Guide to making sex an act of love
Read the first few chapters of the 5 Languages of Apology.
Going to read Men's Health now.

Gary Chapman was fast becoming my favourite author. However, I felt that the 5 Languages of Apology a bit salah leh.. He did a good job by identifying the 5 love languages in his previous book, identifying the ways in which people feel most loved; their primary and secondary love languages.

However, I do not see the point in identifying someone's language of apology. The 5 languages of apology are as follows:

1) Expressing regret ( I am sorry)
2) Accepting Responsiblity ( I was wrong)
3) Making Restitution (What can I do to make it right?)
4) Genuinely repenting ( I will try not to do that again)
5) Requesting Forgiveness (Will you please forgive me?)

Aren't these 5 "languages" necessary whenever we do something wrong? Shouldn't the title of the book be 5 steps to Apologising?
