About This Quote
This quote is a warning to anyone who has ever felt guilty for committing a terrible crime. The thing is, one thing that makes us human is the fact that we are always looking for ways to ease our guilt. Whether it's giving money to charity or just telling others what we did.

We want everyone else to feel better by hearing how bad our lives have been. But, if you don't pay attention to the warning in this quote, you may end up murdering your wife and child.
