I feel like I don't deserve.....

 [.... we all suffer from this]

Guilt.....
It's an age old pain
that has been bothering us
for thousands of years.....

The really old guys just threw it away!
A "scape goat" would be loaded
with their guilt... and then the poor thing
would be driven away..... or sacrificed
.... and hey presto! .... the guilt was gone
and if the human accepts that.....
he can feel good again.
Acceptance is huge

Then along came the others.....
Jesus.... Buddha..... the Prophet....
Each had their own idea
about why and how....
Why do we feel guilt?
How do we remove that guilt?

Cos we can't live with that guilt
Guilt is an emotional millstone
.... it sits on our shoulders
and drowns us in the sea of misery

Jesus says that guilt is something
that we can't hope to remove....
.... that only God can do that
We must accept....
Acceptance is huge

Buddha says that guilt is a problem
that we must recognize...
Accept the guilt as a fact.....
Acceptance is huge

The prophet says to follow the rules
and then maybe the guilt is not there?
I hope so.....
Acceptance is huge

Whatever answer sits well in your mind
.... think about it..... accept it
Acceptance is huge
.... and acceptance is the answer
