Healing through Confession

It requires a lot of courage to confess honestly and I am not sure if I have enough of it.One thing that is quite certain is that an honest confession makes a person lighter.Honest confessions before God,Guru or Guru's Sangat is a good way to heal the soul and leave a lesson for the others.Let me try to make a confession-----
A refugee is called Sharanarthi in Punjabi.How would it look if a Sharnarthi tries to display ego in front of a person who has given him refuge?It would look as if a person is cutting the branch from the thicker side on which he is sitting on the thinner side.When I look back in my life I find that I have acted in a similar way on more than one occasion.
