I hurt myself deeply, though at the time I had no idea how deeply. I should have learned many things from that experience, but when I look back on it, all I gained was one single, undeniable fact. That ultimately I am a person who can do evil.

I was the kind of person who could, using some plausible excuse, inflict on a person I cared for a wound that would never heal.
