our lady of toxic behavior (1/1)

Submitted to "Mea Culpa"

We can all do better. More than once, I’ve posted my favorite quote by Gene Wolfe about how we’re incapable of being other than who we are is our only unforgivable sin. But I am entirely capable of doing better than I did yesterday. That I let myself down is entirety forgivable- and I do this more often than I care to admit, but letting the rest of you down is much less so. The true sin here isn’t wrath, but my disregard for your feelings. I would never behave like that in my parents house, nor should I ever do it here. Should I choose to act like a fool, I would best do so in private, and not our shared space

I doubt that most of you would act as I did, even when provoked far more than I was, so it isn’t right to ask for your understanding. Nor am I comfortable asking for your forgiveness after such terrible behavior. But if you would remember that I was always a decent person before, and might believe that I would be a decent person again, then perhaps we can all move forward and put this all in the past
