I wish that I could fit my sense of right and wrong, of justice, of equilibrium, into a system of religion:

I could seek a priest of that religion, and I could discuss all of the things I take no pride in, that I regret, that disturb the equilibrium of things, that make me less of a person: and such a priest would understand the haunting urgency of such things. I would not be judged selfish for being consumed by the wrongs I have done to others.

But I subscribe to no faith. There isn't a priest to grant absolution from responsibility and decency. I do not believe there is an obligation to exercise such virtues from any divine force above or beyond.

The obligation comes from within.

As cool as I am, I thought you'd know that already.
