Can I be your memory

A search on the WEB gave me a list of definations of the word 'clean slate.' The Free Dictionary states that it is an opportunity to start over without prejudice. The Dictionary.com interprete it as a new start; especially to make a new start by clearing the record. But is there such a thing as a clean slate?

So they say: face your consquences, redeem yourself and you will be forgiven. Everyone wants to hear that it was a mistake, everything will be ok. But the truth is, nothing is ok. It never will be. They don't tell you that the effect is permanment. They don't remind you of the harm you caused (to yourself or anyone else). So what if you feel guilty, so what if you are serving time, so what if you are dead. (I know it shows harsh. But tell that to Josef Fritzl's victims.) The consquences affect not only your life but the ones around you (talk about fairness). No matter how strong you say you are, everyone lives in the shadows of the past. It shrinks away when you feel all better but just when the time is right (or should i say wrong), it engulfs you again -reminding you of everything you try so hard to forget. I am talking about tiny little mistakes we make in life. Mistakes we make when we are weak. There is no excuse, there is no taking it back because the consequence is there right in front of us.

So tell me is there such a thing as a clean slate?



In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins. We all know the big ones; gluttony, pride, lust. But the thing you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger is not that dangerous, that you can control it. My point is, maybe we don't give anger enough credit. Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all, when it comes to destructive behavior, it did make the top seven.

So what makes anger different from the six other deadly sins? It's pretty simple really, you give into a sin like envy or pride and you only hurt yourself. Try lust or coveting and you'll only hurt yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst, the mother of all sins. Not only can anger drive you over the edge, when it does you can take an awful lot of people with you.
