Less a blog post, and more "_something I want to have a persistent addressable record of_". Terry Pratchett has _many_ pearls of wisdom that bear remembering[^1] - this particular exchange takes place between Mightily Oats (a naïve well-intentioned religious missionary) and Granny Weatherwax (the tough embittered rustic crone-witch who will help anyone who needs it, but recognizes that "'good' ain't the same as 'nice'"...)

“Theres no grays, only white thats got grubby. Im surprised you dont know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. Thats what sin is.
“Its a lot more complicated than that . . .”
“No. It aint. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means theyre getting worried that they wont like the truth. People as things, thats where it starts.”
“Oh, Im sure there are worse crimes . . .”
“But they starts with thinking about people as things . . . ”
