The bard has been much on my mind of late.
. . . and when Shakespeare said,
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here,"
I can't help but wonder, what was he thinking?! In the Christian era
in which we have been reared, we tend to think of right and wrong,
good and evil, sins against mankind, and if we're lucky, forgiveness.
As I grow older, however, I have come to understand that we each
have our own struggles, our own temptations. Some may be
tempted to take that which is not theirs, others to hurt and harm,
and still others may fall prey to sins of the flesh. Still, I am thinking
that the greatest sins of all, are those we commit against ourselves.
We feel unworthy of our own forgiveness, but ourselves no slack,
refuse to try and understand where we are coming from and why
we ace and react the way we do. Interestingly enough, we are quite
capable of forgiving heinous atrocities in others. But, the small
misconducts in which we fail on a daily basis, will find no such
grace.
forgive and forget
pray be kind to me dear soul
me speaking to me
