The man who commits treason in order to save the monarch's life.

The man who holds no special rank, upon whom no dependents rely, who does no great work for the world, who kills an attacker bent on his life.

The madman who, blind with illusions, kills out of fear and horror.

The man upon whom his children solely depend who hangs himself to escape his deep grief and pain.

The man who beats his son in the hopes of sparing him worse punishments from others.

The man who, to spare her from the sorrows of the world, locks his child away.

The man who betrays his wife for a rich woman who will provide for his family.

The man who chooses a harsh medicine over a gentle one for his patient, who then dies.

The man who lies, cheats, and murders so that his beloved ones do not have to do so.

The man who commits evils under threat of torture.

The man who commits evils with the memory of torture.
