Can you even have human nature if you don__ have the capacity to feel?_ I ask. __o you mean on some kind of existentialist __hat are we if not the things we feel_ kind of way?_ I don__ know what he means by existentialist. I say as much. He laughs. I entertain the idea of stabbing him for several minutes.

The first thing I understand is pain.

Someone once told me that when you die every deed you ever committed, whether on behalf of good or bad is represented in the form of pebbles. Black ones for every deed done in the name of evil, white ones for every act of good. The pebbles are weighed upon a great scale, and if the white stones outweigh the black then your soul is granted peace.__e opens one bleary eye. __hat__ the punishment for too many black acts?___here is no worse punishment than standing on the threshold of heaven alone.
