What? No one's living in basements. The amends are living.

Forget about the basements.

Where I'm from, when you've dug yourself in a hole too deep, some people who have been there before have a whole list of stuff meant to help you out again. Making amends is pretty deep down on that list. Can't really ask for forgiveness if you haven't examined what led you to being an asshole in the first place.

Do you know why you're an asshole?
