“The Seven Social Sins are:
Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Worship without sacrifice.
Politics without principle.
– From a sermon given by Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925.
― Frederick Lewis Donaldson
We make mistakes, and a few of them are actual sins. We feel guilty, criticize and abuse ourselves but don’t change our behavior. What’s the point?
If we can’t transform ourselves towards a better end by following our hearts, there is no meaning in accepting the mistake or recognizing the sin we committed.
We must be willing to accept our mistakes, learn from them and commit not to repeat them. This way, we can create a better future that can wash our past sins.
Every mark must be washed out through forgiveness and forgetfulness. Always be willing to change yourself for the better end. Consistency and commitment are the keys to fundamental changes.
