who ordered this truckload of dung? - We are all crims

We are all crims

by Ajahn Brahm

In the previous story I talked about people I worked with in jail, but the message applies to anyone "doing home" in the prison of guilt. That "crime" for which we feel guilty - what else did we do that day, that year, this life? Can we see the other bricks in the wall? Can we see beyond the stupid act causing our guilt? If we focus on the "Class B" act too long, we might become a "Class B" person - that's why we keep repeating our mistakes and amassing more guilt. But when we see the other parts of our lives, the other bricks in our wall, when we gain a realistic perspective, then a wonderful insight opens like a flower in the heart: we deserve to be forgiven. 


What a wonderful story that conclude the few previous story! If you don't understand? please read the few previous story!
