Truth is not for everyone, but those who can handle it should have it. I think of how our own faults, if we were to face them, could drive us crazy. The guilt for things we have done -- literally -- can kill us, and probably does at times.
But, if a person can process the truth in his or her mind, without going batty, it can be therapy. Once a person has accepted his or her guilt, and done what they can to resolve it, it will cease to haunt their inner soul.
No, I don't doubt relying on the Savior is part of this. With many things, we cannot make them right. The event has fled, and cannot be drawn back. Our only hope is that the Savior will help us find an escape. I know some of my readers may not believe in this Savior. The same, I tell you it is true.
And, those who turn to hope, who turn to the belief that something can be done to lift their faults, can live with them. Those who do not see hope, can only find relief by fleeing their faults. Denial, I think we call it.
Repentance turns one to face his faults, while the voice of a fool shouts he has none. Truth follows where repentance goes, but hides its head from the wicked.
