It's not on your conscience...

When henchmen are busted, and fate as usual is about to give them a taste of their own medicine, it's not unusual for them to claim as if they're victims themselves, like their excesses were due to circumstances, or as if following orders against their will, more like "damned if they do, damned if they don't."

Too often, their stories will toy with your sense of empathy, and you may be tempted to emotionalise rather than rationalise their situation like: "mahn demako yehrem sah, ndeysaan!" If you ask me, it's not like you condone what they did, your emotions are because you're not an "it" like them; you're human.

However, or should I say the truth is: whatever may become of man is a consequence of the decisions he made, mostly. So whatever happens to whosoever chooses to be in a wicked man's world and to do evil for him, either to serve one's own ego, or because one's not as smart, and no matter how saddening one's case is, it's not on your conscience; it's a consequence of the bad choices one made.
