Step Eight ~ Part 2: Questions

"Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all."

1. How do I treat people who are anonymous to me, like clerks, wait staff, repair persons, hair dressers, etc. How do I treat children, especially my own (if there are such)? The elderly? Invalids? Fat people? People of other races, religions, nationalities? What does this show about me, about my nature? Do I need to make change in my life in relationship to such people?

2. How can I make amends to someone whom I don't know, or who may not be around anymore?

3. How do I make amends to a company, institution, or such like?

4. How can I make amends to the two most harmed of all, the least and the greatest: myself and my Higher Power?
