He entered reality only when he was so busy trying to cope with people that he had no time to distinguish between good and evil.

What time a man can devote to morality, he must take by force from the motion of which he is a part. He is compelled to make choices between good and evil sooner or later, because moral conscience demands that from him in order that he can live with himself tomorrow. His moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.

So that's what we did. Me, Mel, and Meredith all moved on, and we're the stories we're living now.Aren't we?
