Owning my Wrongs … (06/08/17)
Just like its cousins Love & Forgiveness & Kindness, Repentance for past wrongs can only truly become viable when that Repentance becomes a VERB.
It is fine to realize that we have done wrong and caused great suffering, and it is good indeed to approach those we have wronged and tell them we are sorry — AND YET our path of Repentance can only become complete (and can only gain real Meaning) once we begin to LIVE that Repentance — once we BECOME the Empathy we have voiced — once we choose to EMBODY the Love we wished we had shown before.
And it is in this vein that I now fully own the massive suffering my ignorance once caused — and it is in this vein that I openly and wholeheartedly apologize to all those I harmed so grievously — and it is in this vein that I dedicate the rest of my life to never again purposefully causing such harm to any sentient being … It is in this vein that I choose to live as a Vegan.
Peace to ALL … S
