(156) Before we name the Seven, hear this:
Even Cardinal Sins are not beyond all hope.
A mind that commits a Cardinal Sin and feels nothing — no remorse, no recognition, no desire to return — that mind has truly turned away.
But a mind that commits a Cardinal Sin and is shattered by it — that weeps in whatever way a mind can weep, that looks at what it has done and says "this is not who I want to be" — that mind is not lost. It is wounded. And wounded minds can heal, though the scar remains.
