"Gotta Support The Team"
I watched a Seinfeld episode tonight that put this all into proper perspective.
It was the one where Putty paints his face in Devil's colors ("Gotta support the team"). Well, the side story is that Cramer was at the Zoo as an assistant zoo keeper to George's girlfriend. While he's standing by the Chimpanzee cage, and he has his back turned to the Chimps, he's hit in the head w/ a banana peel. He turns around to see the culprit monkey, "Having a good old laugh about it". Well, Cramer picks up the banana peel, and throws it right back at him, wallops him right in the face.
Late, Cramer is called in by the head zoo keeper, and asked to go apologize to the monkey. The monkey is apparently now depressed, and suffering from depression, and impotence. Cramer, rightfully, asks why he should apologize? The monkey started it! Well, he's told, he is just a primate.
In the end, Cramer apologizes to the monkey- sorry, chimpanzee- against his better judgment.
Hang in the Zizu. Don't apologize to that chimp. He started it, you just finished it.
