[Diego's sitting in his office, a rarely-seen place as far as his NV goes. It's small but furnished with a nice desk and... well, maybe it isn't small, maybe it's just the six coffee machines, the shelf of tin canisters of coffee grounds and... wow. Does Diego actually get any work done in here, or is he making coffee all day

I try not to. But, well... there's just some things you can't shake no matter how much you'd love to.

This isn't about any of that. For once.

You make it sound far too easy, letting go of the extra burden and weight of the past. For those with little on their shoulders, casting off the burden might be a bit easier. But for others, whose weights are much greater, it is very difficult - if not impossible sometimes - to even remove a little of that burden.
However, that isn't to say that those people carry their burdens out of choice. Some of us are unfortunate enough to be forever tied to those pasts, those mistakes, without an opportunity for freedom.

Many are burdened by things that cannot be changed or cannot be laid to rest. That doesn't make them lesser people.

I never said that they were. In fact, I'm sympathetic to those who have to live their lives with that extra weight. I understand the feeling of being trapped by the past, by actions or events that have left marks and scars on them.
Just because they are trapped, or tied, to those burdens doesn't make them lesser people. If anything, if they are able to continue living, I would say they were stronger than the rest.
