Law of Consequences

Dark Brightness definitely got it right here.

I tell people … you have no idea the hell from divorce because you have yet to eat that fruit from that forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All you can see now is the good, but once done, the evil will sprout endlessly … even if it was not your fault … even if you did not/do not want it! It won’t matter.

    • it’s weird (and exhausting) the tricks one’s mind can play.

      all topics in our home are open for discussion (much to my kids’ relief and chagrin!). we talk about the divorce from time-to-time … sometimes what happened then … sometimes the effects of it now, and everything in between, and then some. i’ve always gone with the precept that none of it was their fault and have always taken responsibility because i am the adult. now that they’re older and their brains have matured and they have more perspective, and time, they will emphatically state, “Mom, it wasn’t your fault. There was nothing you could do. It was dad.” they know him. they don’t know the details of what he did, but they know who he was. i’m still sorry. i was not sinless. i was not perfect. the more wisdom and knowledge i gain, the more i see my faults, my sins, the things i did that were flat-out wrong. i have to consciously remind myself of the things i did right. it all gets jumbled up in there. and then i have to let it go and move forward. i’m the only parent they have left. i can’t let the past control me.

      • Its the consequence of being a person of God. Only the unsaved can call themselves “Good People”(TM).

        Everyone has good points. There is no such thing as pure evil in real life.

        What’s important is if you are justified by faith.

      • The thing is. The more closer you get to God and progress in your sanctification. The greater contrast is shown between one’s own failings and the perfection of Christ.

        Hence the more “Saintly” the person. The more aware he is of his own sin.
