True kindness has no ulterior motives.

After we create our list of amnesty in step 8, writing down who we hurt and how, we must examine our current feelings about each situation on the list, acknowledging emotions such as guilt and shame, as well as any lingering anger or resentment we may have. Next, we must examine our motivations for making each specific amend. If our goal is simply to look good in the eyes of others, then we are not yet willing to make amends (the second part of step 8).

Today’s Task
