Peccavi, 28 February 2018

Apocryphal punchline in Latin, from Punch,
Supposedly communicated by the general 
Who massacred as needed to take Sind.

I have. Let’s say you haven’t. Let’s begin.
I’ll start by confessing my hypocrisy: I take
A righteous satisfaction in my unrighteousness,

But I’m often horrified by the unrighteousness 
Of others. Why is this? Well, the obvious—
Self-interest, myside bias. No excuse.

Now your turn. What would you like to confess?
Notice I didn’t say you needed to do it, or that
You did it. Just, what would you like to confess?
