The instructor asked us to list 16 in our past that we felt 17 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.This seemed like a very 18 process, but there’ s always some 19 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 20 that we find ways to 21 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 22 my communication.Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 23 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 24 of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a 25 on him.After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a S.O.B.(畜生).

No one 27 found out.”“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 28 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 29 .
