Quote by Patricia Hewitt

You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually, what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.

Summary

This quote suggests that repairing a damaged relationship requires more than just words or promises. Merely discussing trust or making commitments is not enough. The true healing of a relationship happens through action and actually demonstrating a change in behavior. It emphasizes that the key to rebuilding trust lies in living out the principles of trustworthiness and consistently engaging in actions that are different from the behaviors that caused the damage in the first place. In other words, it emphasizes the importance of proving through actions, rather than just words, that one has changed and genuinely wants to make a difference in the relationship.

[O]ne has to have endured a few decades before wanting, let alone needing, to embark on the project of recovering lost life. And I think it may be possible to review 'the chronicles of wasted time.' William Morris wrote in that men fight for things and then lose the battle, only to win it again in a shape and form that they had not expected, and then be compelled again to defend it under another name. We are all of us very good at self-persuasion and I strive to be alert to its traps, but a version of what Hegel called 'the cunning of history' is a parallel commentary that I fight to keep alive in my mind.
