Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.

Summary

This quote suggests that committing crimes is a rewarding experience in itself, much like pursuing virtues or moral actions. It implies that some individuals derive satisfaction or personal gain from engaging in illegal activities, regardless of the potential consequences. This could highlight the subjective nature of "rewards," where individuals might find fulfillment or thrill in engaging in wrongdoing, even though society generally considers crimes to be morally and legally wrong.

Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.
