Then he sighs. "I feel like it is the right thing to do, like... like the religious idea of penance, stripped of the overtones of religion. Doing good for what you have fucked up, in addition to just doing good, period. Ideally, doing it for the ones you have wronged, but if you can't, for one reason or another, then doing it anyway, in the hopes that the world will be better, wil be... more right, and that the next you who comes along won't have to suffer the same way."
His words are quiet, but passionate. This is something he thinks about a lot.
"You can't actually ever equal or undo the past, but you can live for a better tomorrow, and a better today.'
