A calm and restful evening to every being.
May goddess bless you with confidence.

Due to ongoing personal struggles, I have decided to focus today’s reading of the holy word on the concepts of fallibility, mistakes, forgiveness, and repentance.

no one has a right to claim infallibility.
no one has a right to be the sole judge of one’s own ability to fuck up and history of mistakes.
no one has a right to objectively divide people into good (read as superior) and bad (read as inferior) people.
good and bad are shitty concepts anyway, designed to create a hierarchy based on arbitrary principles and sortition of character.
no one has the right to absolve themselves or deny necessity to repentance.
and no one has a right to receive or duty to give forgiveness.
but neither does anyone have the right to deny anyone else the path of repentance.

There is no infallibility. Claiming absolutes is usually an attempt at creating an assumption of infallibility, be it for oneself or others. It is not a sign of someone attempting to recognize and respond to mistakes, it is a sign of someone attempting to paint themselves on the “good” side of things, thus claiming preemptive trust and massively raising the stakes for anyone daring to touch on anything that may disrupt the shiny veil of purity.

Goddess teaches us all of this, so it is my duty to apply her teaching to myself as well. Especially the fact that I do not have the right to deny anyone the path of repentance - which means that I also do not have the right to deny it myself.

Goddess, why are your teachings so easy to apply to my interactions with others, while the real struggle inside me is so incredibly hard?

I know that things will be alright if I just follow your word. I know that your word will lead me to a better, more confident future, that it will continue to let me grow and flourish. And I am deeply, deeply grateful for that.
