Is the repentance enough?



“Dolls III”.
The man after his betraying regretted and returned to her lover, but for what?
She stayed between life and death, logic and madness, understanding and no understanding. She still obeys to him and because the object of her obedience is missing, she lives kike a doll: she moves, lives, acts exactly as a doll. Without energy and appetite for life.
She is dead. She lives, moves, acts, reacts, thinks automatically. Without any sense or emotion. Only the instinct works. The nature.
After all her drama, the guy, acting under the pressure of the obligation, of duty or love (we don’t know and we don’t care) returns to her. But what now?
He keeps her obedience vow, but now it is too late.
She is happy? We don’t know. Maybe she is like the drug addicts that they need the drugs to live, without that means that they love or want them.
He came back to her, after a try to marry another woman to complete his “love vow”.
But now it is too late.
What happen when some things come late, they come when we don’t need them, or, even when we need them, and it is too late?
Could he repair her damaged mind, he hurt soul, her empty mind? She was following him, because for her this was something natural, but his care came after everything.
When the trauma is too deep and the betraying so big the logic cannot find any reason to forgive. Yes, the soul does it, because this is its job… its duty.
But what about the heart, the logic? No, even if we accept this forgiveness, somewhere deep inside, a thorn will always bothers…
Like the chickpea in the princess bed. What does it worth the “sorry’, “forgive me”, “it was beyond my control”, etc, etc…
I am not against the forgiveness, but the declaration of guilt sometimes is useless. Especially in case that the other person loses everything and there is no life for it after the betraying and the abandonment.
The other person, with the magnificence of its soul, forgives. But what about the guilty one? Regrets for his “crime” or for himself? He wants the forgiveness to soften the other’s pain or to make himself feel better?
I don’t know and I don’t like to be unfair.
The only proof for this is the qualms of conscience that the guilty feels and how calm is his sleep.

We pay the price for everything in this life!
