And just an illustration of how are bodies can sometimes mislead us;
because of some nerve damage in my left hand, I have a patch on my palm about the size of 4 postage stamps that has a curious malfunction. When I touch something cold there, it doesn't register as strictly cold, it registers as cold and wet.
Even now, probably 15 years after the minor accident that hurt the nerve, I still get surprised when that patch of skin touches something cold.
If the function of a nerve can be altered that way, what of our memories and the wear and tear of decades of rough and tumble living ?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
