One thing i've noticed with kids, and espcially last friday when we were all cooped up in the hall, is that when one hurts another purposly, they will run away. But when someone accidently trips someone else, or wacks them with a ball, the first thing they do is come over and say sorry and make sure they are alright.
Made me think, the last time i hurt someone - did i run away, or i was i there asking if they were alright?

By the first paragraph, you could almost rephrase the second paragraph to something like:
Made me think, the last time I hurt someone - did I do it on purpose, or was it an accident?
That was your intention for all I know, but I thought I'd write that anyway :p.
Did this line of thought come along from the first aid course? And the legality issues arising from "hit and run" as opposed to "hit and administer first aid"?
Now to the topic at hand: I don't think you need to worry about whether you say sorry and check if they're alright - you're one to apologise for things that aren't your fault, or aren't even something hurtful - indeed, on occasion you apologise and then I ask "what for?" and you're like "I dunno", so don't worry about your remorsefulness :p
I'm somewhat different, I rarely apologise - I'm one to save apologies for something big that I can truly say "I'm sorry" about. Like, saying sorry for me is more than just saying sorry... I commit trying my best to never do whatever it is that I was apologising for. It's not really an apology without that repentence.
But I digress...
