HYPOCRISY
“Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo.”
~ Ambrose Bierce ~
As a religious person, I could be a hypocrite. I thought my goodness depended on judging others as inferior. I put others down so I could appear terrific. Part of me knew I was wrong. I ignored religious teachings that emphasize forgiveness and acceptance and instead focused on judgment and condemnation. It was all part of my sickness. Inside, I was hurting and feeling guilty, but I hid behind a mask of respectability.
Today I accept the nonreligious and rejoice in different cultures and creeds. I do not fear those who are different, and I am slowly beginning to accept my own imperfections.
You who have loved me through forgiveness, help me to forgive.
