“Great comment. Redemption is a theme that also runs through many great novels. I'm a fan of the work of Joseph Campbell and his concept of the "hero's journey". In essence we are all on own odyssey and must navigate the twists and turns as best we can. Given this reality, it's important to accept the fact that inevitably we are all flawed in some way and won't always make perfect decisions, but also capable of redeeming ourselves right up until the very end. You have a very nice smile :)”
