If I repent of anything... by Henry David Thoreau

This quote popped up the other day, and I just wanted to share it. With everything going on in the world right now, and especially in my country personally, I can't help but wonder why I have always strove to be good and to do my best for not only myself, but everyone I have ever met. Maybe when I'm lying there dying from whatever is to come, I will fully regret being a "good" person.

I will never regret having been a good person. I get to keep that even when all else can be taken.

The alignment chart has two axes. Regret not being Chaotic enough, but don't ever regret being Good.
