Question
Hello, This may be silly, but do we have the right to a truly beautiful life, to live what we really want, despite past wrongs? I may not have killed anyone, but I have done and said things I am really not proud of, and I have a very hard time accepting that. I would like to make amends where possible, but perhaps that cannot be done completely. I tell myself I do not deserve certain kinds of happiness because of all this. I must say I ask for a lot, and to achieve what I want, I cannot be a loser. Also, I am sometimes afraid of becoming mentally unhealthy. Do you think seeing a therapist would help, or do you think it is just a fear and I only need to stop believing it? Thank you very much.
