But if you keep hating yourself, you're just — pouring that goodness into a black hole inside you. It'll never be enough, and you'll never be satisfied. And it's selfish, too, in a way. Wanting to do good not for its own sake, but because you think it will balance the scales. And when it doesn't work, you'll get angry and frustrated and you might slip. It might never end, on that path.
( one hand strokes down sasuke's spine, steady and sure. )
You have to change how you see yourself for it to really matter. Let the good become part of your nature instead of a thing you use to flagellate yourself.
