Hannah Arendt

It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven’t done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent.

Although your decision to die is firm, your decision to become a god has caused you to suffer. You suffered, wondering why you couldn’t cure Magdalia’s illness, wondering why you weren’t capable of saving her. All you wanted to do was protect your only sister, wasn’t that it? Not in heaven, but here on Earth. You wanted to make Lady Maldaria happy more than anything else, didn’t you? And so now, to avoid the guilt of your loved one dying at your expense, you’re willing to die yourself. You’ve already come to this realization. You know you aren’t god. You’re just a fragile human being who’s capable of feeling pain and having doubts. Go back to being an ordinary man and start all over again for the sake of those who look up to you.”-Kenshin
