The Guilt Free Life

A friend of mine did something pretty wrong yesterday. No need to elaborate here, but let’s just say that in the scheme of things, for those of us that believe that what goes around comes around, she’ll be due a whammy of a blow sometime in the future for the potential pain she could cause innocent parties.

Now I’m not being high and mighty here, because in my years, I’ve done exactly the same thing, and yes, it came right back at me later on. The issue here is that she’s my friend and I love her. She, like all of us, had a momentary lapse of reason, and made a mistake. And although I’ve experienced the consequences of my actions, I cannot determine what her experience will be. It’s about keeping my mouth shut and not judging her actions, but rather loving them, for whatever lesson she may learn from it.

Maybe she’ll experience great pain, and then again, maybe she’ll just wake up next week and realize that she should put that incident on her stupid list and move on, and that’ll be it.

It’s the fact that I love her no matter her actions that makes me guilt free.
