"There is a moment when nothing can be wiped out and left behind any more, when there is only reality and reality is horrifying"

This quote by Friedrich Durrenmatt discusses a minute where one is not able to erase their past or any errors they might have made. It is a minute where they should face truth, and truth is often extreme and frightening. This may be a minute of numeration, where one recognizes the full extent of the consequences of their actions, or a minute of awareness that some things can not be reversed. It is a minute that is both terrifying and liberating, as the specific no longer has the option to neglect or deny their reality, however need to instead face it head-on and accept the consequences of their actions.
