Love is complete acceptance.

The movie was Love Story. A classic. I don't agree with the line though. I understand the idea, but I don't think it's fair to limit yourself that way.
"I'm sorry I crashed the car honey"
"That's ok darling. I know it was an accident"
"Yes, but I'm still sorry because it's going to be an inconvienience to us till it gets fixed"
"Well I'm sure it will be. You don't have to be sorry, but I'm glad you appreciate how this will put me out"
I think there's different reasons to say you're sorry. It doesn't have to be a concilliatory thing. It can simply be an acknowledgement of anothers patience.
