| What I strive for in my life, even more than happiness, is to be at peace with myself and my life. There have been many events in my life that the memory of which don't bring happiness but I have learned to be at peace with them, to accept them as events I can't change or wish away.
I suspect it's what gives value to religious confession. It doesn't change the past, it allows you to accept it and be at peace with the past. |
