"The anguish of shame cannot be escaped. We can be drenched with praise and applause and it still remains. We can be morally perfect, flawless in our actions, and it is still with us. We can take a pill and wait for the pain to subside, but it returns when the drug wears off. The agony cannot be escaped, but it can be healed."
James Bryan Smith. Embracing the Love of God: The Path and Promise of Christian Life. HarperSanFransico: New York (1995). p.29
