Did you forget?

Well, make sure you remember, because if you don't do it now, you certainly will when it comes back to bite you on the ass.  Your dishonor and shame will cause your own destruction, and then you will remember in painful clarity how you have lived your life and what you have done.  If you have remembered these things and your life has reflected the better nature of any of these questions above, then you will remember with joy and wonder the things you have done, and then you will have peace, and then you will be able to live with yourself when you are older.  If you have not given up, and you do remember, then you will know you are right and good and honorable in the actions of your soul which have reflected light before Almighty God and before those whom you love?
