Redemption
	Redemption is a word which does not need to exist. Redemption from what, from being born? One could hardly avoid that. From living? Yes, perhaps that; by essentially not living, by constraining oneself in a rigid framework of "morality" and conformity and especially by becoming humble and self deprecating and long suffering one can possibly achieve this imagined goal. Why is suffering valued as ennobling; Christ on the cross, soldiers on the battlefield, starving children, physically and mentally handicapped? Must these people exist so that humans can redeem themselves in pity?
