http://www.alainguillot.com/eldra-jackson/ When I was a little boy, I used to fight a lot. When I was 14 years old, I was a bully (yes, I am ashamed of it). The one instance I regret the most is when I harassed a boy who was very insecure about himself. Today, those thoughts weigh heavy in my mind and heart and I haven't yet forgiven myself. I wish I could find that boy and ask him for forgiveness. I feel that I have to pay back a lot to society, and to oppressed groups before I forgive myself. When I was a young adult, I was unfaithful to my girlfriends. They trusted me and I didn't deserve that trust. I cheated on them. Today, I wish I could take it back. I decided to make up for it by being respectful of women, of minorities, of people with different sexual orientations, by being a loyal friend, by being compassionate, by being an example and a guide to others. I am still not the person who I would like to be, but every day I make a little bit of an effort and I feel that every day I am getting closer. Tod
