“
‘A bit judgemental, my grandmother.’
‘Nothing wrong with that. Judging is human.’
‘We prefer to leave it ultimately to Om,’ said Oats and, out here in the dark, that statement sounded lost and all alone.
‘Bein’ human means judgin’ all the time,’ said the voice behind him. ‘This and that, good and bad, making choices every day … that’s human.’
‘And are you so sure you make the right decisions?’
‘No. But I do the best I can.’
‘And hope for mercy, eh?’
A bony finger prodded him in the back. ‘Mercy’s a fine thing, but judgin’ comes first. Otherwise you don’t know what you’re bein’ merciful about.’
