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

What kinds of “harm” do people do one another, anyway?
To define the word “harm” in a practical way, we might call it the result of instincts in collision,
which cause physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual damage to people.
