My Confusion and I

Tonight it's Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement for us jews. This day is for us to repent our sins and ask G-d for forgiveness if we've done something wrong this year, which we all have even if you think you're perfect. One thing we are also suppose to do is to ask the people around us for forgiveness which leads to a bunch of Facebook statuses and text messages saying "I'm sorry if I've done something to upset you this year". I tend to ignore these messages for one reason; If you don't know what you have done, why the hell are you apologising for it? As a child I was taught that if you say you're sorry you should mean it and by meaning it you're not planning on doing it again. This mentality then creates an issue with apologising collectively because you don't actually know what you have done wrong which means that you're not going to change it, not because you don't want to but because you simply don't know that it is upsetting...
