No I would not alter it. If your moral framework includes killing people for kicks... your azz is going to wind up in jail, and life is going to land on you hard. This statement does not address cause/effect. It is not an entitlement issue. It does not give you free rein to hurt people, or shun responsibility.

What is does do is force you to define and then ACCEPT who and what you are, without guilt, without blaming someone else for your actions.
