That is why so many scarred people have a need to tell about their injuries over and over again. It is a plea for acceptance based on sympathy. That is sad because acceptance based on sympathy isn t really what anybody wants. And it is a downward spiraling cycle, because blame means someone or something inflicted the injury and the injured one is powerless to change it. Once he accepts that, he has to live with it and the scar is formed.
Scars don t heal and emotional scars never quit hurting.
Whatever it was you did, you knew it, and you wished bitterly that you had not. That is what I thought. Well, since we are not immune from soul injury, what we need is soul salve. It should contain gentle oils to keep the outer tissues of our wounded spirits pliable enough to prevent cracking and scarring and an active ingredient to promote healing from deep within to replace our burned and wounded skin with new, pink baby fresh undamaged skin. Forgiveness is soul salve.
