Yom Kippur - The day of atonement

[Zephyros]

I am not religious, but Kippur is a special day, one on which Jews take a day to think of their wrongs to God but also to people. God, I hope, will forgive me for being an imperfect human, but it is how we affect other people that makes this day special.

So let me take this opportunity to apologize for being my imperfect self, and that if I have wronged anyone, let it be known that it was usually not out of spite, but merely because I am me, and what I do, is to get through the day like any other human.

Let's all take a thread to take a moment of atonement and try to be better people in the year to come.

Thank you all

Although I am not Jewish, I share your interpretation of Yom Kippur and try to incorporate it into my life. Thank you for that inspiring post.
