So if you ever did something bad, you can't stop other people doing it? An ex-thief gone straight should watch and do nothing as someone is robbed in front of him? A reformed killer must turn away as someone is murdered in front of her? A nation that manages to start on the road away from its prejudices must turn a blind eye to the suffering of other peoples?
- guard-of-terra 14y agoThere is this thing where former alchoholics fight alchohol, former addicts fight drugs and former racists fight racism. They would do that overzealously, theyr involvement may cast a shadow over the whole fight, and they would hurt innocent, or not so much guilty, people by trying to make others pay for their own sins. This happens. If an ex-thief becomes a sheriff, I say I'd be cynical and worried.
