Rogues, would you live forever?

Summary

This quote encapsulates a rhetorical question aimed at rogues or individuals who engage in dishonest or immoral behavior. The short query implies that living forever would not justify or absolve their actions. It suggests that despite the allure of eternal life or fame, the immoral choices they make would continue to darken their existence. Ultimately, it questions the true value of immortality when one's actions are tainted by deceit or wickedness.

But the healing place is within you. Healing is a gift you were granted at birth, just as you were granted others. Use your gifts, child. Use the beauty, the courage, the hope and the love that is in you. Call upon your strength. Use compassion and faith. Even during sad times joy is within you. Bring it forth. Wisdom is there to guide you. Use any one of your gifts and you will rouse the power of your healing place. Use all of them and you will sustain it.
