I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.

In Chekhov, when people leave, a carriage is taking them away forever. The stakes are so high just for someone to make a simple exit.
