Hi,
after seeing this articles, i feel very shameful cos i am someone like this. I realise i never feel contented and always disappoint people around me. i start to hate myself for been what i am. Is all because of my cravings, i lost a dear sister in my life. I really don’t know how to ask for her forgiveness. I know I hurt her alot. I am very regrets now. What shall I do?
Hi Regrets
I hope you are feeling better. From your note I find you are brave enough to be aware and acknowledge your cravings. This is truly admirable! I may not have the complete wisdom to advise you but you need to forgive and accept yourself first. Know that it is the deluded mind that is craving, and that is not your true nature, so please don’t hate yourself and hang on to it, as it will only put you down further. Then with this sincerity that I feel in your comment above, be mindful of your cravings, and observe it whenever it arises. As for asking forgiveness from your sister, please use your greatest sincerity to talk to her. If the first time doesn’t work, try again and again. Be brave enough as you love you so much to feel regret. Show by your actions that you’re prepared to improve yourself, I’m sure in time to come, your sincerity will move her. Strive on!
Understanding your mistake is already enlightening. More important is to forgive yourself and move on. Do not be attached to regrets, they are merely weights that slow you down. Repentance comes from correcting oneself by not making the same mistake now or in the future. May you be well and happy.
Wonderful advice!
