Saving multiple worlds -- no, multiple universes, do you think that is enough to erase the sins that a person has committed?

Or is this merely what is right for those that are sinners?

Perhaps, redemption is beyond us and we can only do a little bit of good before judgement.

...Thousands, huh?

Well, I'd say multiple universes being saved would at least help. Does it really matter either way, though?

If you're getting redemption for the right reason then sure. But if you're doing it because of some promise to balance out your sins that's not really the right reason.

To save multiple universes is an honor I do not believe I'm worthy of, but I will do it. However, I don't believe it will wipe the slate clean at all.

I apologize. I wrote this post then thought more on my words and realized how hollow that they are. To ask for redemption at the cost of saving others' lives, that is no better than ignoring the suffering that I helped inflict upon others.

It seems we're in agreement on that point, though, yes?

[disasdeer]

Well, yeah. I do agree. If you're doing something just to be seen as better, then you're not actually doing any good.

That simple.

[honorkept]

Yes.

I wonder why it is that I could not come to that conclusion sooner. I wonder why I had to write it out and see how foolish my thoughts actually were.

But perhaps, that is just what foolishness is? Only seeing your idiocy after you've committed to sharing it with "the world."

[disasdeer]

You didn't come to that conclusion sooner because you were only thinking about your personal redemption.

[ You can almost hear how blunt it is, that's fine - though, Louis does follow it up immediately. ]

I'm not saying that's an all bad thing. I think it's a very typical thing. It's a place to start.

[honorkept]

That is true.

It is. I've decided that I will help to save the worlds, but my redemption is no longer something I should seek or want.

[disasdeer]

Then it sounds like you're on the right path. Not that you need my approval or something.

[honorkept]

I suppose not.

But I have caused quite a scene already with this post so I'm grateful that most are not rubbing salt into an embarrassing wound.
