“The truth was that a complex murder case attracted his attention and curiosity like nothing else on earth. He could make up reasons for it. He could say it was all about justice. About rectifying an imbalance in the scheme of things. About standing up for those who had been struck down. About a quest for truth.

“La culpa es un doloroso deseo de armonía, una necesidad de compensar por una infracción propia, de restablecer el equilibrio, la coherencia. La coherencia entre lo que se cree y cómo se actúa. Cuando mis acciones son incoherentes con mis valores, creo una brecha, una fuente de tensión. La brecha crea incomodidad. Consciente o inconscientemente, intentamos cerrar la brecha. Buscamos la paz mental que nos proporcionará cerrar esa brecha, compensar por la infracción.”
