On falling


On falling or failing 

One who falls is not at fault.
Falling or failing is also not a mistake or sin. But, not getting up after falling down or not trying after failing is a sin. 
To sit down where one has fallen and to be sitting there crying is a sin.
To understand that falling brings with it some pain and to work to heal that pain is beautiful and right.
To hold on to one’s pain is a sin.
To hold it in one’s heart and to move on in life is right.
