If we can no longer separate the innocent from the guilty, everything that happened to us, all of our suffering, is meaningless.
If evidence is collected, if confessions are made, if a verdict of guilty is entered in a court of law, then its happening becomes as the rocks and rivers, and to argue that it didn’t happen is to argue with reality itself.
Guilty of being the God of Mischief? Yes. Guilty of finding all this incredibly tedious? Yes. Guilty of a crime against the Sacred Timeline? Absolutely not, you have the wrong person.[Ravonna Renslayer: Are you guilty or not guilty, sir?]
Guilt makes people do stupid s***.
Guilt is like salt. You put a little on, and it hides all the bitterness.
Guilt can make sane people do crazy things.
Guilt can be a good thing. It’s the soul’s call to action. The indication that something is wrong. The only way to rid your heart of it is to correct your mistakes and keep going until amends are made.
Blame is easy. Truth is harder.
When I go talk to the family and friends of a murder suspect, somebody I know is guilty, and I tell them the person they love is a killer, guess what they all say? “That’s not the person I know.”
Sometimes, telling the guilty from the innocent is harder than you think.[to Morgan]
Some believe confession helps a guilty soul find peace, releasing us from the shame and regret of our mistakes. In the face of mortality, many feel the need to seek this closure to make things right. Because if death doesn’t kill us, our demons will.
People want a guilty person. If there has been a crime, they want to know who did it.
