A New York Time bestselling author have stated, “men of thoughtless actions are always surprised by consequences.” (Sarah Addison Allen, The Girl Who Chased the Moon). Humans’ nature is brimful of ambitions and goals and once a desire is inspired, it requires a great deal of effort to release (free) the greeds.

Lady Macbeth reassures her husband after the cover-up,
