Sometimes things I did in the past wake me up at night and I can't get back to sleep. No, not any ax murders or anything exciting like that. Mostly just times I was less than "considerate" to others. I am told that God remembers every sin we ever committed. I think we have them stored in our own minds. I have resolved in the future to be kinder to all my fellow human beings except for zzfart.

Re: "...sometimes it is harder for someone to forgive themselves than it is for other people to forgive them."
That's how it should be.

It bothers me to hear people say they don't hold themselves accountable for things they did 35 years ago (except in Angie's case and maybe mine due to our relative youth). That's not to say that everyone should be beating themselves up over the things they did so long ago. You have to let things go, after all, if you don't wnt to go bat$#!+ crazy, but wrong is wrong and we don't get off of Responsibility's hook just because some time passed. There are things *I* did, believe it or not, that bother me MORE now than they did then. One girl in 4th grade that virtually every boy in school was vicious to comes to mind. We sucked. If I found her today, I'd apologize even though I wasn't one of the major offenders.
