talking to myself

Nice read, Mark. It resonates with me in many ways in that I sometimes wish I hadn't done a few things in my life. But someone told me once, that the hardest and the most important part of repentance is to learn to forgive ourselves first, without forgetting the lesson. We all just have to learn from our experiences I guess.

I think most if not all of us have been cruel to another whilst we were kids

Sometimes the need to be inc in a group causes us to say or do mean things often to people we didn't know

The fact you feel remorse for your transgressions shows you are worthy of forgiveness

We all have our sins to repent

Perhaps its time to forgive yourself rather than condemn yourself

nods, i think this peer pressure thing can be good, can be bad and i do believe it helps mold us as we become adults, when i was younger, i too did things i should not have and thankfully the feeling of 'shame' that came after the fact help mold me into the person who works hard not to repeat said mistake for the sake of peers.

sometimes it means i have few friends, because so many even at my age.. gossip for bad reasons and will get into their cliques (spelling?)

I prefer to be alone then to be in a group of friends that exclude others due to they being different.. feel better that way, i feel like i can look in the mirror and smile, you know what i mean?

I agree, it is in the learning that is important.

Thanks for your comment. I am not condeming myself, but I don't want to forget, when something stays with us I think it is important. I agree guilit can turn neruotic, good guilt helps to move forward and self forgivness is part of that.

I know what you mean, we have to live with our selves, gossip is not a good way to spend the time, it can seem like fun until it is our time....then it does not seem so innocent nor entertaining.
