There is a great temptation for one who has lost everything as a result of his folly or recklessness to declare himself righteous in his own eyes, and to seek an excuse for his shortcomings by identifying them with virtue. It does not matter, however, under what exact circumstances he had become what he is now, as long as he does not look back with regret, and remembers the other far more authentic condition of righteousness:
If one wishes to be righteous, let him be righteous grâce à lui, not righteous malgré lui.
If one wishes to be righteous, let him be righteous grâce à lui, not righteous malgré lui.
