Forbidden Sympathy

[Items]

Illegal writings of an unknown author in the holy lands: "If you prick a horned devil, does he not bleed? Does a woman not shed tears when she is sentenced to her doom? Does the man with green skin not want happiness, like all sentient beings? We are all the same, we all feel fear, but let us not allow that fear to deceive us into inflicting such suffering on other souls. Over time and history, technology advances, knowledge expands. Perhaps it is time for progress in spiritual teachings as well. In these Holy Lands my words are forbidden and I will likely be put to the flame, but I hope these words instill even the slightest fraction of humanity into our society, lest my death be in vain."
