They can’t ever stop howling.

At the time when the pivotal incidents of my life took place, I had seen life very differently. Then, I saw myself as a person who had choices, and made conscious decisions about them, and who was therefore also fully responsible for her actions. There was nobody to help me understand that they were not considered decisions at all, but instinctive reactions to circumstances imposed upon me, for which I could in no way be held responsible. Perhaps what I was now trying to do was give myself some piece of mind by adjusting my perspective. I wanted a sort of moral amnesty, which only I could grant myself. It wasn’t that I was unwilling to accept responsibility for my actions. I had always carried an absolute sense of responsibility, and an overwhelming sense of guilt. But now I wanted to teach myself forgiveness.
