our vulnerability makes us uncomfortable, afraid even. we shield ourselves, shut out everything and even delude ourselves. go into complete denial. such pains we take to prevent being hurt. but do we ever realize it is just as to inflict pain as it is to feel it? the most intimate of relationships bind us to wielding this power with immense responsibility. for, to hurt someone who trusts implicitly, who bares their soul in utter confidence is downright sinful. the biggest mistake, the most iredeemable act of selfishness with no retribution. and you will feel that pain when your soul starts dying. a slow but sure death, from the desolation of decay. when you are drowning in the sea of shame, your trespasses weighing you down to the depths of the torturous abyss that guilt is.
