> "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission."

When people use that quote, I try to be charitable and assume that they don't intend its literal, face-value meaning.

But if they do, my response is: I will not forgive you because you're not truly repentant. This is all part of a strategy where you see what you can get away with, and you show no signs of repenting that overall strategy.

Hmmm... maybe I'm a hardass.
