    “And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

    “It’s a lot more complicated than that –”

    “No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

    “Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes –”

    “But they starts with thinking about people as things …”

    - Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett

      Worse part of things, is it’s too vague. You can’t blame things, it’s too broad. It’s worthless and meaningless.

      Humans tho, you can blame humans. Good ones can be blamed for the good they do. Bad ones for the bad.

      Blame is equal to all, after all we are nothing more then the actions we take on the world.

      If a human does evil with knowledge and are unrepentant then they deserve no favor. For they have none to give in turn.

      If a human does evil without knowledge and is repentant then they deserve a another chance and help with out question or judgement.

      If a human does evil with out knowledge and is unrepentant then they should be taken aside and educated so they may choose of their own free will. To ask for forgiveness or not.

      This is what a human deserves, this is something a mere thing can’t be given.

      A human who chooses the darker path deserves nothing for he has endless chance and choice to be better or ask for help.

      And remember a human asking for help, should not be turned down if it is with in the power of those they ask to give that help. Else that too is evil.
