"Light of Truth, that had been banished for a a long time to vanish in pitch darkness of intended oblivion, can never die. It remains alive to intermittently or incessantly whisper or even shout out from behind your eardrums, with sparks of light that inevitably prick to severe discomfort your otherwise peaceful mind. It even bursts into many rays that refuse to be pushed back to be forever lockedin the darkness of secrecy, denial and oblivion.
"Widows cannot forget that they had lost their spouses, and orphans know well that they had lost their parents. Burnt homes leave not only scars on the ground but deeper scars in the soul.
"The Light of Truth continues to forever whisper, at times wail aloud, within your ears until you decide to forgo the self-defeating momentary convenience of distracting and denying, and finally surrender to this truth known well only to all the wise: Wrong will always have to be inevitably, eventually, and ultimately fully acknowledged, regretted, and set aright. Your future peace of mind demands it; your dignity demands it.
"You do not dishonor your victims by killing them-- you dishonor only yourself, even as you pass on to your descendants. the bloodstains on your hands, that they'd pass it on to theirs, until one of them decides to stop the passing of horrible heritage. Will is crucial; it can even overpower the fear of truth and the arrogance of hypocrisy.
"While many people have to be reminded not to wallow in their own guilt and be paralyzed by them, many others seek to hide and deny their grave misdeeds, pretending still to stand on the moral high ground, assuming themselves that their own clean self-image is believed by others."
