Judgment - This is what we always have to ask! What? Not to be afraid! That's what with me is. Carei of this judgment, just because they see that I am not afraid ... If condemning her is the harsh, with my courage support me. Now, if I receive saved sentence, with my courage I thank you. Forgiveness, ask, I do not ask: that I think who asks, to escape alive, deserves is half-life and double death. But thank you strongly.
In this reflection on judgment from João Guimarães Rosa’s "Grande Sertão: Veredas," the speaker emphasizes the importance of facing one’s fears and judgments with courage. They acknowledge that being unafraid can provoke harsh judgments from others, yet they find strength in that courage. It highlights a profound acceptance of whatever fate may come, whether it be punishment or salvation, as long as it is met with bravery.
The speaker further elaborates on the concept of forgiveness, indicating that they do not seek it for their own sake. Instead, they believe that those who ask for forgiveness may do so from a position of weakness, feeling that truly deserving individuals should confront life without seeking to evade consequences. The act of gratitude is emphasized, showing a deep appreciation for life's challenges rather than a desire to escape them.
