“Those who feast on accusations will eventually be eaten by them. This won’t necessarily happen tomorrow. You can run on for a long time.”
Broken on a Tree
“Accusation is holy law poured through the filter of a tiny and defiled soul. Justice is holy law unfiltered. Love is holy law poured out on the only sinless man, broken on a tree.

In order to keep that frenzy from being identified for what it is, thus wrecking the glory party, it is also necessary to club any dissenters.”
