On a sunny Sunday afternoon after the Morning Service, the church door creaked as a man wearing shabby clothes with piercings all over his body walked down the aisle towards the confessional. The priest, upon seeing the person enter the confessional, rushes to the other side. Both of them occupy their seats at once.
In a hoarse voice, the stranger said, “Father, I have come to confess sins.”
Leaning his ear towards the white curtain that was separating them, the priest mentioned, “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, child, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”
The stranger whispered, “I want to kill a man who has destroyed my life.”
Taking a deep breath, the priest asked, “And what will you achieve from it?”
