A doormat, although old-fashioned, is nevertheless widely available. It is usually placed in front of the entrance door or a door to the garden or terrace. The purpose of the mat is to wipe or brush off dirty shoes or, better still, their dirty soles, so that the dirt remains outside and is not taken into the home and soils the floor there. So dirt from outside should not be taken inside. If you transfer this to thoughts or information, you can ask yourself: what kind of mental or emotional doormat is available to me to leave the corresponding everyday dirt outside? I think one answer is forgiveness. Especially in the case of emotional injuries. In order to be able to forgive, you need the appropriate resources. We do not always have these within us. But the Christian good news provides an answer and access to this resource. In this way it is possible to live inwardly clean.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
