"Every Saint Has a Past, Every Sinner Has A Future"

I think that this is the best quote that I have found to capture what I have been thinking about for a while. It seems that people sometimes forget where they came from. They forget their roots and claim a totally new perspective on the world as if they did not live a single day before this change. It seems sometimes that people feel it's easier to pretend than to work through their difficult past. I want to see true genuineness as people admit their history and create a new future.
