Confessions
Can I truly find myself only when I face every detail of my shameful past stained with wandering and desire?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading this intimate confession written sixteen hundred years ago, I found deep comfort in a self-examination so modern that the gulf of centuries seemed to vanish. Augustine's sentences, candidly pouring out the lusts, thefts, and intellectual wanderings of his youth, are utterly transparent. His passage from seeking truth without to finally meeting the Absolute in the deepest recesses of his own heart reads as a record of healing, of integrating a broken self. I learn that only when I acknowledge my darkest self does the light begin to seep in.
