You may have been taught the wrong way, but that doesn't mean that you can't seek an education in a better way.
> I must get both psychiatric, and biblical understanding. Irronically, what I have done, is choice. But before choice, i was nice, and innocence is the best thing to have.
Life isn't just one choice. Life is a series of choices. The ones that really matter are the ones ahead of you, not the ones behind you. You can't change the past, but each day you wake up with choices that determine which way you'll go from here.
I'm not sure that psychiatry and religion vary significantly on that point. Neither say there is no hope.
Innocence is beautiful. But the loss of innocence can bring wisdom, and wisdom has its own beauty.
> Let my thoughts rest tonight....
Amen.
