When Truth Hurts

Like looking in a mirror, and being shown not fresh youth but ragged age, lost dreams--- but good for the soul it is I'm sure...mea culpa, my bad

Yes, truth hurts, but admitting that we are wrong (mea culpa) is already a step forward; then it's time to make atonement!! Regards // paul

Thanks Paul-- yes, I fudged up the first 1/2 of my life and have spent the 2nd 1/2 trying to atone for it-- perhaps not as well as I should but as well as I can.
