A teacher was giving the lesson when he noticed that one of the little girls in his grade five class was crying. He went over to her and saw that she had peed all over herself, down her legs to a puddle on the floor. He said it was okay and got another student to go with her to the washroom. As she walked away her shoes squished with the pee and her footsteps left tracks. The pee was cleaned up but the pee had dissolved the varnish on the wooden floor so that one could see where the pee had been – under the desk and the footsteps to the hall.
There has to be an analogy for this story. Certainly for the rest of her time in the class she was reminded of her embarrassment all the time – the unvarnished areas of the wooden floor.
You can’t erase the things you have done. You can clean up your act, but the damage has been done.
