About This Quote
If after reading this book you come to my home and brutally murder me, I do not blame you. The irony of the sentence is that no matter how many times we read and review books and ideas, we all know (or should know) that sometimes we fall short and make mistakes. When we make a mistake, we all wish there was some way to erase it from history. But what if our only source of knowledge was the same as those who committed those mistakes? What if they got away with murder, and it does not even matter because (in their minds) they were right? That is the world that this author is talking about – a world where one person’s mistakes are responsible for another person’s death. The second part of the quote – “I do not blame you.” – captures the idea that the killer has accepted the world as it is and has stopped blaming himself or herself for what happened.
