when one blows it

Trespassing is an everyday occurrence which is in the very nature of action’s constant establishment of new relationships within a web of relations, and it needs forgiving, dismissing, in order to make it possible for life to go on by constantly releasing (people) from what they have done unknowingly. Only through this constant mutual release from what they do can (people) remain free agents, only by constant willingness to change their minds and start again can they be trusted with so great a power as that to begin something new.

- Hannah Arendt, a German-American historian and philosopher, and one of the most influential political theorists of the 20th Century.
