Guilt, Shame, and Forgiveness

A Great Challenge Within

We all suffer from guilt and shame.

Either from events in this life or others.

They lurk in the darkness within us.

They prevent the freedom we desperately seek inside.

They are judgements we place upon ourselves.

Based on the opinions and beliefs of others.

Based upon a misunderstanding of the true nature of reality.

We are not judged by life, we judge ourselves.

Whether by commandments of men or laws we judge our lives as worthy or unworthy.
