When will we finally be punished?

If nightmares are my punishment then should I even try to stop them?

Some people lost their lives, their whole families, watched their houses burned and their children mutilated in front of them while all I do is struggle to sleep at night?

~~What? How does that have to do with what you did or didn't do? Or is this about the "we," and you just skip around, making no sense? Because I do not~~

Why are you sorry about having or having had a therapist?

And who is supposed to judge who deserves and who does not deserve to be punished? ~~You, who, by the sound of it, would have me thrown back in despite~~ If you personally think you need to atone for something, look into doing something productive and proactive. Do your penance with a charity or give back to the community in some way. You'll be giving up your own time and putting forth your own energy, possibly even by hand if you do something that involves physical work and go magicless with it, to do something good for someone you may have hurt or even someone who may have been hurt by others who you don't know (such as helping out with that foundation or helping to build houses or helping landscape public areas in the Wizarding World or any other means you can think of to help out our community). If you're feeling penitent, that's probably the best course of action if you're not wanting to go to the extreme of being imprisoned.

You sounded like you're speaking from experience. I'm sorry that you had to go through something that required it.

Some people need it. I need it. It's not enough, building something, creating or helping now, it's too late, it's too late for all that now. I should have said something when I had the chance. I should have done something that would have stopped people being hurt. I should have done something. Nothing is going to erase the fact that it happened.

I should be torn apart by- That said, you're right; giving something is better than nothing. Better than this, definitely.

	Based on what I can glean from what you've marked out, I'll say it's never too late, and anything you can do is better than doing nothing when it comes to helping people. Something is better than nothing in this case. (Reply to this) (Parent)
