I know what you mean, bohemian. I've been there. A source of inspiration to me is what I see in the news. Lots of people in very high places, like in entertainment and politics and elsewhere, get caught acting wrong and even disgracefully. They get found out for behavior that they should be so totally ashamed of. Do they go crawling under a rock, afraid to show their faces? No they don't. They run for high office in government and they carry on with other careers. They say, "Well, I made an error in judgement." They fully expect forgiveness. Some of them get it to.
I mean - just watch the evening news. Talk about people humiliating themselves and disappointing others! Geesh. I don't know how some of them have the guts to walk out of their houses. But they do. They even go in front of cameras. They carry on. They seem to have no trouble forgiving themselves. I guess we could take a lesson.
