Suppose we were handed a red pen and an eraser and told we could rewrite reality. If the storyline wouldn't look so nice, we could change that. Even if the outcome is what we deserve and what logically follows by our actions, it could still be edited out.

Is it fair? Is it justified?
Yes. Because if you can trust so strongly, you have already transformed yourself.
