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'"...) |

(Future similar "posts" that are merely short quotations from literature will be similarly tagged with `#snippets`) |

{{< rawhtml >}}{{< blockquote >}}There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment about the nature of sin, for example,” said Oats. |
||||
|
||||
“And what do they think? Against it, are they?” said Granny Weatherwax. |
||||
|
||||
“It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.” |
||||
|
||||
“Nope.” |
||||
|
||||
“Pardon?” |
||||
|
||||
“There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is. |
||||
|
||||
“It’s a lot more complicated than that . . .” |
||||
|
||||
“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.” |
||||
|
||||
“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes . . .” |
||||
|
||||
“But they starts with thinking about people as things . . . ” |
