- You can never outrun your mistakes of the past, no matter how hard you try and how much distance you manage to cover and how mightily you struggle to rationalize them; they become a permanent part of you, no different than your physical features or your God-given personality. You must thus somehow come to terms with these mistakes in a manner which allows you to proceed forward with a clear conscience and an unburdened mind. Mistakes will affect and bedevil everyone throughout the course of their lifetimes; that much is a given and as etched in stone as Moses’ Ten Commandments. Yet this we know for sure: How we react to mistakes that occur spontaneously and in no logical order is the true test of our character and the only meaningful variable secondary to that larger-than-life equation which governs our day-to-day existence.
