Absolution granted

The new year is a time for change, a time for celebration, and a time for forgiveness.

It is not about forgiving those who have caused you pain and misery in the past, that's something that takes more than just a resolution. The new year is about absolution for the things you have done, whether in the past year, or in your entire lifetime.

Absolution should indeed be absolute. Forgive yourself completely for your shortcomings before you can turn over a new leaf and start anew. 

Easier said than done.

What is easy? Sitting back and judging other people. That is why we are so good at it. Humans are good at the easy things that make us vicious and callous, but we are also good at the things that strictly contradict our sometimes-torpid, sometimes-cruel actions.

Welcome to the world in which we live--you never really know who you can trust, so you better learn to trust yourself--quick.
