The guilt was never about the cake

The church taught people that guilt had to be paid off with punishment. Now listen to how people talk about food. I was bad this weekend, so I've got to make up for it. So you set the alarm for 5am and punish it out of your body on a run you hate every step of. The guilt was never about the cake. Next time you say you were bad, ask what you actually did and who it hurt.
