I disagree....I actually think that the feelings of the people who you love and who love you back are almost *more* fragile than the feelings of strangers and acquaintences. "Treat the people who love you gently" ~~ I think this is a much better maxim.

Being mean/not apologizing to the people who you love is kind of like coming home and kicking the dog because you're mad at your boss. It's not very nice to the dog, and just shows bad manners.
