“If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.”
― A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“If our good intentions are hinged on ignorance or figments, we remain anyhow responsible for our acts and must assume our decisions, making amends for damage. If we want to eschew awkward entanglements, we shall sharpen our perception, stay on top of what is truly going on worldwide and what our inner circles experience, and understand how they react to sensitive issues. (“The infinite Wisdom of Meditation“)”

“Do you know the Suli have no words to say ‘I’m sorry’?”
“What do you say when you step on someone’s foot?”
“I don’t step on people’s feet.”
“You know what I mean.”
“We say nothing. We know the slight was not deliberate. We live in tight quarters, traveling together. There’s no time to constantly be apologizing for existing. But when someone does wrong, when we make mistakes, we don’t say we’re sorry. We promise to make amends.”
“I will.”
“Mati en sheva yelu. This action will have no echo. It means we won’t repeat the same mistakes, that we won’t continue to do harm.”

“Is there anything I can do?”
She selected another rock. Tossed it. “Start wearing a bag over your head? And maybe like a postapocalyptic handwoven robe.”
He laughed, and she couldn’t help but notice the way his stomach tightened. “I meant anything to do to make amends.”
“Back out of the deal?” She twisted her lips in rueful smile. “Yeah, didn’t think so. You don’t really care if I like you. You care if I trust you enough to go into business with you.”
“Can’t it be both?” He spoke softly, and she hated the vulnerability in his eyes because it mirrored her own. He couldn’t take down her walls. If he disarmed her, what would be left? A shell no one wanted.”
