A few thoughts

I learn what’s good
only
when confronted with evil
else
I’m passed off as
just okay
or a has-been
who could have done better

---

parameters change
with environment
how good or bad
I really am?

---

a survival strategy
counts as crime
my right to exist
circumvented by law

---

Does intent count
or the damage?
my upbringing
or education
or just the stinging slap
after doing something?

---

reborn in non-human bodies
I may commit heinous acts
and pass off
without being judged
or punished
