APAD：Confession is good for the soul

"Confession is good for the soul" means that admitting your mistakes, faults, or sins to someone else, whether it be a religious figure or a trusted friend, can bring a sense of relief and peace of mind, essentially cleansing your conscience and allowing you to move forward feeling lighter and better about yourself; it is often associated with the idea of spiritual healing and self-reflection.

Origin: This saying is rooted in an old Scottish proverb, where "confession" refers to the act of acknowledging wrongdoing, particularly in a religious context like confessing sins to a priest.

I have something to confess to my trusted APAD friends: I reported a "speed trap" on the first day of our road trip back to Canada.

 
When (the driver) driving on Hwy 80 not far outside SF yesterday, a line jumped out in Google map on my dear iPhone: "A trap reported 1 min ago, is it still active?" with "Yes" and "No" choices under it.  I never saw a message like this before (mind you, I didn't have a cell phone nor text message until end of Sept), so felt it very interesting.  

And then, all of a sudden, I saw a police car in a space between the two sides and the officer was holding a radar detector.  "Oh, that must be it"!  So I quickly pushed the "Yes" without thinking. 

 

"He who denies all, confesses all." So I decided to confess all with no denial.  It's such a relief and peaceful feeling to be honest and to confess my own sin .

Happy Friday to U all!
