Timshel

Timshel, in Hebrew, is defined as "thou mayest" in the Hebrew Bible when referring to the story of Cain and Abel. When this phrase is used for Cain, it is saying that he has a choice to sin or not after killing his brother. Instead of saying that we are all doomed for sin, death and fire in hell, it is saying that in our every day lives we have a choice between what is right and wrong.

Now my tangent:
I am not a religious person. I am a believer that what is "right" and "wrong" is to the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their own perception of what is good and bad. Now getting back to the word timshel, I believe that no matter the circumstances, everyone has choices to make every day that create themselves as individuals. I know for myself, I have made lots of mistakes, but nothing I can honestly say that I regret. If I am in a position to repeat a mistake, I hope that I would have already learned from my last experience and not continue the same pattern. Obviously, this is harder said than done. I am still struggling and probably will be for the rest of my life with taking my mistakes as a way of bettering myself. I guess what I am attempting to come out of this tangent with is that, whatever you believe is right and wrong, stick by that and do not ever forget. Stay close and true to yourself.

Side note: I am not telling you what to do, I really should not be talking. I'm just thinking while I type.
