Atonement t can be very difficult w, living in a cursed family b  whose patriarch l had secretly q murdered y his brother n.

Driving a stake in the legacy of his past, Tubalcain made a determination t to dedicate q himself to honesty x in relationships j; and that resolve had opened new opportunities p for healing h.

In the nuanced n context of his interactions j, therefore, he had sworn to engage y the bile of hate g from within the stability of love d: he would meet direct confrontation t with the calm patience w that had been characteristic of Cain's brother Abel, as he understood the legend. Aware b of his limitations l, on the other hand, he would try to remain circumspect q as he engaged y with the citizens n of Nod.
