Summary

This quote suggests that the most severe form of punishment is self-imposed, when we torment ourselves with feelings of guilt, regret, and remorse. By constantly dwelling on our mistakes or misjudgments, we subject ourselves to a relentless and painful form of self-inflicted punishment. It highlights the negative consequences of allowing remorse to consume our thoughts and emotions, becoming our own worst enemy in the process. The quote serves as a reminder of the importance of forgiving oneself and letting go of past mistakes to avoid unnecessary suffering.

He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.
