You are imperfect.
We are all flawed. Some of us have more discipline and integrity than others, yet no one has, nor ever will "arrive". Even robots are fallible, their software goes awry, parts break down and computer components eventually become obsolete. The idea of perfection is just that, a nice idea. Since no one is perfect, please do not beat yourself with the guilt stick, when you blunder things. Do your best to be pure, smart and level-headed, yet refresh your soul with the truth. The truth that you have to forgive you, yourself and admit when you do wrong. The fastest way to get out of a bad decision, is to move on with your life and to not go down that path again. Feel the remorse, accept the guilt and appreciate the shame (if any), and be a better person. Courage is knowing you are flawed, but pushing through obstacles and doing your best anyway. You have to have high standards and clear boundaries. Yes, these are necessities for healthy living, just realize we are all blemished. People will hurt you, you will hurt them. Whether on accident or on purpose, we have to forgive and learn. You can make things right, by changing and keeping someone else's interest at hand. Think of a lady or gentleman when you are unsure about your choices, chivalry is strong protection in this reactive world.
