Only bad people worry if they’re good.

Only bad people worry if they’re good. Good people just know. Are you a good person? If you're reading this to find out, that's a bad sign.

I don't think about it at all. That's what lets me notice it in other people. I need only a glimpse to tell. I can even tell in total darkness like this. I just listen to how their heart thumps when the topic is discussed.

I've seen good people. At this point I can say with certainty: they are not like you. They do not hope that at the end they are redeemed.
