I firmly believe that one must become at peace with their actions. If, either by error or weakness, one commits an act s/he regrets, self-redemption and reaffirmation of one’s self must be achieved. The sad fact of human nature is that the focus is more often on the negative actions than the positive. One must come to terms with the negative repercussions and accept judgment, rightful or not, as part of other’s natural reaction. Redemption in the eyes of others, as a goal, is useless and often seen as grovelling, rightfully so. Balance must be sought, and peace established within one-self. Act as one’s true self. In the case of weakness, demonstrate to prove to the self that it was isolated and move on. In the case of error, one must strive to learn how to avoid such a mistake. In the case of both, one must learn from the error and maintain the moment of weakness as the exception to one’s character that it is. And if others never judge the one by the majority, but solely by the minority of one’s actions, those individuals do not belong in one’s life.
