None of us are perfect sawe. None of us.

And............. I think we can push the redo button.

When we finally come to a place where we're able to face the fact the we have harmed others or done things that are atrocious to our now sense of self, it can be pretty devastating. But I think it's a good thing when this happens. It awakens a new person and awareness that is necessary for forgiveness to take place. Forgiveness for ourselves and forgiveness for those who have offended us. We know ourselves, then and now, we know our intentions, and we know how we feel about them now. It puts us in a postion to change- it puts us in a position to push the redo button.

If you're feeling badly about things in the past, you can apologize. It can be a humbling expereince but it can be a rewarding one as well. When I've apologized for things I have thought or done that hurt people in my life, they have freely and unconditionally forgiven me. They feel relief and so do I.

I admire you're ability to look reality in the face. That takes honesty and courage. You've made mistakes. No one expects you to be perfect. The best way to let go of the heavy burden is to face it and fix it if you can. If you've hurt someone you love (Even if it's an old hurt) apologize and ask for forgiveness. I think you'd be surprised at how much has already been forgiven.
