I will always want to annihilate the people who mutilated my soul with sexual abuse.

For me, that will forever ring true. However, it doesn’t mean I’ll actually do it. But they’re dead, anyways. Good.

Let’s not put too fine a point on the western notion of forgiveness. Tim is allowed to be human, he’s not superhuman.

You see his response as an Achilles heel, a flaw in what could be perfect. I see it as a spark.

Rapists and pedophiles? They do not err. They kill. I see no divinity in forgiveness for them.
