I totally forgot that the One Tree Hill finale episode made me realize something: Whatever it is that you have done in the past will always haunt you in the future.
There's this character named Dan. He killed his brother, Keith. And he's basically been a bad father to his two sons, Nathan and Lucas. And now, after how many years have passed, he's decided to repent on everything that he's done. But it wouldn't be so easy for him.
So you see, things that we've done, whether intentional or not, would always be embedded in the minds of other people. We might feel great remorse for doing such things, but still, nothing can erase the fact that we did them anyway. Just like what Macbeth said, "What's done is done.". There are stuff that we just have to live with for the rest for our lives. And there's really nothing that we can do about it.
It's just sometimes irritating to think about that something so small might completely change your reputation for the rest of eternity. You spend your whole life creating a good name for yourself, a name you could really be proud of, and in just a snap, all those hard work would be gone. There are few people who would give you the benefit of the doubt or who would look at the other side. Good for you if you're surrounded with those kind of people. But what if you're not? You'd have no choice but to live your life with a fucked up reputation and a very bad name.
Life can be really cruel sometimes.
But we have no choice, we just have to live with it.
Day by day until the shit's over.
