This is a good thread. While I've always been reserved and usually think my actions through before I actually move, I too have had my share of things I am not particularly proud of. But fortunately, those actions and the consequences have shaped me for the better.
Many years ago, I stole a digital camera from this girl I didn't really know at this camp. I think I only stole it because I could. Afterward, the girl came around and asked people if someone had seen her camera. I kind of looked in another direction and pretended not to care. But I felt so bad after that. I've lost things before and have had my belongings stolen, and I was very angry and frustrated. I had never thought of it this way, but when I stole things, the other person would be feeling the same way. Needless to say, I have never stole since. I prefer earning my own money and buying what I wanted. It's far more satisfying because I have put in the time and effort, and it makes it more meaningful than if I "just got it".
Ahh confessions, they cleanse the soul =P
