Because escape was a million times easier.
Because the excuses made me go on with my life easier.
Because rejection would be unbearable for my prideful self if I tried and did not get past you.
Because I care so much, this guilt weighing on me all these years has made me realise...

That I do not want to run anymore.

No. I do not want to run anymore.

Even if I fail, I will face the rejection. I want to try.
And maybe, hopefully, you'll realise that I am sorry.

Sorry for the times I wasn't there, sorry for the times I was too angry and sorry for not being part of your life all these years.

I only hope you will understand.

The warrior knows an old saying: "If regrets could kill..."

And he knows that regrets can kill; they slowly eat away at the soul of someone who has done something wrong and they eventually lead to self-destruction.

The warrior does not want to die like that. When he acts perversely or maliciously - because he is a man of many faults - he is never too ashamed to ask for forgiveness.

If possible, he does his best to repair the wrong he has done. If the injured party is dead, then he does some good turn to a stranger and offers up that deed to the soul he has wounded.

A warrior of light has no regrets, because regrets can kill. He humbles himself and undoes the wrong that he has done.
