Ah you are a preacher. Lol sounds like you might have some hindsight bias not religion. Hey we all do.“My religion is to live - and die - without regret.”
― Milarepa
You might want to try a dose of humility to go with that righteousness.
I never myself claim to understand
religion. I did put body parts in bags and cleaned roads and cleaned up fluid of all kinds.
Once you do that and see the aftermath and direct result of righteousness, religion becomes absurd.
Where I come from you got practical because the longer you took to clean up the worse the smell was.
So I suppose in that sense my religion would be making sure I do not preach, just clean floors quickly.
I have seen men full of regret. It is a very intense silence. Best I could do was sit quiet and respect their silence not invade their space.
Ony when they indicated it would I give them water. Never before. That would piss them off. You just do not presume anything for them . You stay neutral and blank.
The key was also not to look sad or horrified for them ever. Now...well I might come near but only quick to place a draft beer and some pretzels...or to make sure they have fresh coffee and chairs.
My first lesson was from talking to a WW1 vet at Queen Mary Vet Hospital. I was very young. At first I wanted to know why some had no arms and legs. They let me ask many things because of my age. Thry told me about mustard gas so I learned not all of them had that extra time to put on their masks.
You might want to think about that one.
