"I wanna run away someplace far away. I am a sinner. Sorry, I'm sorry Saeki-san. I will atone for my sins for as long as I live, even when I am an old man... I will always repent. But I have nowhere to go. Even within this town I... in this town surrounded by mountains there is nowhere to run to. People who understand the works of Baudelaire, just how many of them are there in this town?
Why is all the metal in this town rusting?"

“After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.”
Oscar Wilde
V
You must weep with me for my sins, because I have no tears, and pray with me for my soul, because I have no faith, and then, if you have always been sweet, and good, and gentle, the angel of death will have mercy on me.
Sayfa 33 - Karbon Kitaplar
Tests : injuries (inspiration and lessons for others)
We may also be tested through injury. These injuries may or may not be in- flicted by the hands of others. But sometimes our response to these injuries serves as a means of saving or inspiring others. For example, some people are brought closer to Allah by observing the heroic or inspiring response of others who have been tested or afflicted. This phenomenon is demonstrated a lot in literature and poetry. For example, there are times when forgiveness can free another person. In his famous novel, Les Misérables, Victor Hugo writes about this phenomenon. Hugo describes a convict named Jean Valjean who was forever branded by his past sins; many years prior, he stole a loaf of bread to feed his starving niece. From that day forward, he was known as a thief and could not escape the branding.
One day, a bishop allowed Valjean to stay the night in his home. That night Valjean stole again from the Bishop out of desperation, and tried to escape. The police caught Valjean and returned him to the Bishop's home, along with the silver he had stolen. This was the point when Valjean's life would transform. The bishop was determined to help Jean Valjean see his potential. To do that, it required that Jean Valjean experience forgiveness first. The bishop not only forgave Valjean, he even offered him more silver
and said to him, "Jean Valjean, my brother. You no longer belong to evil. With this silver I bought your soul. I've ransomed you from fear and hatred. And now I give you back to God." From that day forward, Jean Valjean became a different person. He became an honest and honorable man, who went out of his way to help those in need.

And all my own sins
Have been forgiven somewhere —
I dont even remember them,
I remember the sins of others.

"...A man must have something to grumble about; and if he can't complain that his wife harries him to death with her perversity and ill-humour, he must complain that she wears him out with her kindness and gentleness."
"But why complain at all, unless because you are tired and dissatisfied?"
"To excuse my own failings, to be sure. Do you think I'll bear all the burden of my sins on my own shoulders, as long as there's another ready to help me, with none of her own to carry?"
Tanrıların Babası Amun
Amun was the god of the wind and the King of the deities (or Father of the deities). He and his wife Amaunet have been mentioned since the old Kingdom. From the 11th to 16th century BC he rose to chief importance after his merge with
the sun god Ra. He came to be known as Amun-Ra or Amen-Ra. The chief of all deities, Amun-Ra was the patron of the poor, the troubled and was the epicenter of personal piety.Those who sought the help of Amun-Ra had to first confess their sins. The temple of Deir el-Medina reads: "[Amun] who comes at the voice of the poor in distress, who gives breath to him who is wretched. You are Amun, the Lord of the silent, who comes at the voice of the poor; when I call to you in my distress. You come and rescue me...Though the servant was disposed to do evil, the Lord is disposed to forgive. The Lord of Thebes spends not a whole day in anger; His wrath passes in a moment; none remains. His breath comes back to us in mercy. May your ka be kind; may you forgive; It shall not happen again."
“The Crimson Worm” in the Bible
Psalm 22 (sometimes called the Psalm of the Cross) is a great chapter of the Bible that tells about the suffering and death of Christ 1,000 years before he actually gave his life upon the cross. Verse 1 says, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? …” In the gospels of Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34, Jesus cried out the same words while hanging
There is too much to discuss to sit here and talk about what cannot be changed in a discussion, nor will I sit here and answer for crimes or choices or decisions that the Ascended or the deities made before me. I have already paid dearly for their sins.” My gaze returned to Ambrose. “I will not entertain doing so again.”

I do not sleep tonight
I may not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together
Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason what they've all come here for
You my love
