‘God veil our faults,’ as the old folks say. A simple, much overused prayer. But what little wisdom it contains. A philosophy of sorts. I love how modest it is. I mean, they could have said, ‘God erase our faults.’ Now that would’ve been ambitious. But ‘veil’ is better. It presupposes that to live a life is to have faults, that no one is perfect and certainly no one is innocent. Not even you and I.”
