Right Under My Nose

October25

Hello again, my fellow readers. Today I come to tell you about a situation that happened not too long ago. I have been informed by the woman that I thought I loved, that she has betrayed my trust and has been hiding something very important from me for quite some time. For the sake of my own, I will not publish this blog but will keep it privately. Hester Prynne’s husband, the one I thought had possibly abandoned her, is really here in my own town, living under my roof! Hester’s husband is really, and has always been the physician, Roger Chillingworth! I cannot believe Hester hid this from me! 7 years of lies. I guess this is God’s way of making me suffer for my sin. If it is so, I will stand here and take any punishment the lord has for me, as what I did is unforgivable and no matter what happens I will not move on. I will not forgive myself and accept my mistakes. No matter where I go, my sin will stay with me. No matter how many years pass, my sin is not any less grave, as it was the moment I let it happen. Not even my vigil’s or numerous whippings, will ever be enough to repent it. I have even looked online for ways to repent my sin and found “The Six Steps of Repentance”, http://lds.about.com/od/basicsgospelprinciples/a/bb_repentance2.htm but not even this, is enough to make up for what I did. What is even worse about this whole situation is that all my fellow puritans love and cherish me, hidden from the fact that I too, am an adulterer. Hester is lucky to be wearing that letter and let everyone know of her sin. I, On the other hand, must live with this undeserved fame and live every second of my life with heart-piercing guilt.
