Do you know

I’m not me anymore

There’s nothing left to live for

You say you know everything

But why does it fails when it comes to me

Do you know

Even I don’t know who I am anymore

My brain is is slowly killing me

And I’m just letting it be

And my body is begging for me survive

But what if I don’t want to 

To be called all these names

To be ashamed of myself

To HATE myself

Do you know

Your words are like knives in my heart

And these knives are tearing me apart

You took my innocence away

But for you it was just a play

Can you stop

Please STOP

Cause I don’t think I can fight anymore

The current concept of “sin” is a stain upon the soul that requires a kind of supernatural atonement or cleansing process. In the Hebrew Bible, wrong behavior is seen in a rational, natural way. Scripture speaks of three categories of wrongs that are not synonyms. There is chet, the misstep, literally meaning “missing the mark,” as if one were shooting an arrow and hitting the outer rims of the target and missing the shooter’s goal, its center. The Bible mentions it 34 times. The second pesha, occurring 93 times, is a conscious rebellious act such as taking revenge, stealing, murder. The third avon, cited in 233 instances, is an error, an unintentional act that nevertheless has harmful consequences. Understood in this natural way, it should be clear that the misdeed is something that shouldn’t provoke passive feelings of guilt and prayerful recitations, needing clergy or a psychiatrist to erase it. Individuals should recognize what they did wrong, think why they did the wrong, take actions that remedy the consequences, and assure that there will be no repetition.
