We owe people work, money, or time for what they have done for us.
And we also owe some of them a debt of gratitude.
As we go along, we fulfill many of these obligations .
But there are those that we somehow don't attend to.
Perhaps we should consciously make time to review our lives and think about how to pay those debts--to thank those who helped us, to apologize to those we hurt or took advantage of, to repay favors?
