“Amends can be these things:
- Sincere efforts to offer apology for past harm.
- Wonderful bridge-builders for more positive future relationships.
- Effective agents for removing the tremendous weight of guilt, shame, and remorse.
The one thing amends should never be, though, are installment payments on false guilt or false shame…”
