Cornelius returned to the village after years abroad.
Priest: "I hope you were loyal to your faith
whilst you were away."
"Indeed, I was, Father," replied Cornelius.
"I drank, I lied, I drank, I fought, I drank,
I blasphemed, I drank, I stole, I drank,
I had bad women, I drank, but never, never, never,
did I forget my religion."
Reflection
We have the tendency to compare ourselves to others
and point out what others do that we don't. Cornelius
might have comforted himself by saying he never
fucked a sheep.
Affirmation
I've made a fool of myself at times; let me not make it
my lifestyle.
