RE: Silence

Hello Dear Kemmyb,

We are imperfect. If not for that, how would we ever have stories to write? We go through life, and every day the mistakes pile up.There are the good things, but it seems the mistakes are the actions that haunt us.

The prompt for this story was guilt (which I should have mentioned I guess as a post script). When I saw that prompt, so much came to mind. Who can reach my age and not have guilt?

They say guilt is pointless, but I think they are wrong. Guilt makes me a better person :)) I don't want any more regrets. Jabez learned that too late--the tragedy of the story.

I appreciate that you read my story and that you understood the heart of it.

Hope you are going to have the best week possible.

Well said. I totally agree. Guilt should inspire self reflection and motivate us to do better. Thank you! Have a lovely day.
