That's honestly the worst kind of punishment for selfish behaviour, isn't it?

That description of the man, who's chained to a safe and despairs at the sight of a woman and her baby, that is really damn heartbreaking.
yea the idea of losing all power to help them but being forced to watch them sounds unbearable
I was going to comment on the same sentence! Horrifying and inspiring
