"If your only reason not to harm is a warning carved in stone, you were never good. You were afraid. There's a difference. It was never holiness. It was fear, polished for the pulpit, pressed into Sunday best." -Eira Quinn
Being afraid of consequences is not the same as being good.
We should stop pretending it is.
