Darkest of souls with brightest of knowledge, I don't deserve any of the proofs and knowledge I know. Whatever mercy I am shown, will be due to God's compassion on my regret, but to no merit of my own.
Having genuine remorse for past mistakes takes humility and introspection. Don't undermine those great qualities, which you obviously have. <3
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
