Righteous people still fall. The difference is what happens after they hit the floor.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Falling is not the dividing line, because everyone does it and most people assume they are the exception until they are not. What actually differs is the next hour: whether you get honest quickly, whether you tell someone, whether you return rather than hide. Character is visible in the recovery more than in the record.

If you are on the floor at the moment, make the return short. Say it plainly to God and to one person who will not flinch. Then get up without adding a long sentence of self punishment on top, since that part helps nothing.
