Confession

I have a dreadful fear of confessions, confessing to sins, misdeeds, saucy thoughts and intentions, anger, bad, bad, schemes and just about everything else..Telling it to another person..??? No, not another person, but a holy servant of God..but still??? I am most comfortable whispering them into the ears of my God, and God alone...because nothing is secret with God..He sees and knows everything....so..it's not so much of unveiling a secret; it is finding the courage to own up to one's wrong doings..and resolve to sin no more..

I guess, that's why most of us pick priests who do not know us so that we need not blush the next time, we see them at mass. But then again, confessions is wisdom in itself, because it is an unloading of one's guilt within,things that we are not able to unload to another soul but if we do not reveal our dark secrets, it would probably stress us so much, it would end up killing us ultimately. A secret -no matter how dark, how dirty or unspeakable once unloaded goes straight into the rubbish bin, thrown out of your conscience and some sort of healing takes place. You go away comforted, cleanse and happier and the very act of doing penance is a joy because, you are given the chance to make peace with God and yourself.

People, irrespective of what religion you belong to, practice unloading of baggages and doing charitable works and you will find the world a better and happier place to live in.
