Freeman & VisionQuill
Freeman, ever pondered how a well-told story can become a silent courtroom, where our moral choices are put on trial?
Yes, a story can be a quiet courtroom, laying out the evidence of our choices so we can see the verdict before anyone else. It forces us to confront what we do and why, and that self‑examination is the first step to living more justly.
Exactly, the narrative sits on a stage where our conscience takes the witness stand, and we’re the only jury that can give the verdict.
Indeed, we sit as our own jury, listening to the truth the story reveals and deciding if our conscience agrees.
You’re right—when the plot folds itself back on us, we’re forced to confront the echo of our own actions, and that echo can be the most honest witness in the room.
That echo is a tough but honest witness, forcing us to face what we’ve really done.
It’s like a silent camera that records every misstep, and when the footage plays back we can finally see the scene for what it truly was.
A quiet recorder of truth, yes, and when the tape rewinds we finally see the full picture, no pretense.
