No matter how hard I try, a few lost thoughts keep coming to the surface. I always thought people deserved a second chance. To be seen from another perspective. To be analysed in more detail. If until some time ago I did not believe that evil can contain a particle of good in it, now I must believe it. For otherwise the meaning of many things would be lost. Yes, it has to do with me.
