There are such minds as cannot understand the words you speak, good sir. And these here, these few, are such. They cast the words and actions of others as tragedy writ large. They then find reasons to condemn those words and actions, not because they have any reason to, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are afraid and cannot see out of their fear.
You are a man who acts. Do not let them fash you, for you are worth ten of them, in any day, in any time.
