PERSONAL
"And that, I believe, is what true redemption is Amir jan, when guilt leads to good."
Does it matter what the means are as long as the end results is good? I don't think it does. If someone is influenced to care for the poor because they have a strong drive to do good, does that make them any more helpful than if they are rich and have a guilty conscience? Two people can do the same action for very different reasons, and both actions will be the same. However, if someone does something out of guilt, they are trying to redeem themselves not only in the eyes of others, but also to themself and to God. People struggle with the idea that doing good things for bad reasons is not just as effective as doing them for good reasons. As long as the job gets done, it's reason should not matter.
