Forgiveness is a process, an admittedly difficult one that often can feel like a rigorous spiritual practice.
Sharon Salzberg
The apology that was never offered tells you something specific about what you were dealing with, and that information is more useful than the apology would have been. You keep waiting for the words that would make the situation feel complete, but the absence itself is the completion. What you are angry about is not just what happened but the fact that it happened with someone who cannot see what they did. Your anger knows the difference between a person who made a mistake and a person who makes the same mistake without noticing. The clearer you get about which one you were dealing with, the less you need their words to move forward.
