Errors of Innocence
In Dante's Inferno, six of the nine levels of hell—two-thirds of the entire underworld—are reserved for what he calls "sins of incontinence." This has nothing to do with bladder control but rather describes our inability to govern our own behavior. While most people can identify what they did wrong, they remain puzzled about why they acted that way. There's profound wisdom in this observation: recognizing these "errors of innocence" allows us to reclaim a form of integrity we may not have experienced since childhood, before we learned to rationalize our actions through language.
