Pleading Guilty (Meiko)

When a lot of people confess to doing witchcraft, the only person that possessed them to confess was himself or herself. Sometimes, people can have a guilty conscious & they feel bad about whatever they’ve done so they tell on themselves.  I feel like it is worth admitting guilt to save ourselves because GOD gave us life. It’s a precious thing & us just giving up & not caring if we’re hung or if we want to live is just foolish to me because we we’re all put here for a purpose & it wasn’t just to take us right back off of earth.  I would NEVER accuse someone to save myself because  that’s just selfish & I would NEVER want anyone to do that to me.  I feel like people being scared drove them to confess. They probably felt like if they didn’t confess, they would have got killed/ hung anyway.  A lot of people stood up to say they we’re innocent because they have things to live for, like a FAMILY!  Some people in this world just has confidence in knowing that they didn’t do something so they’re going to stand up for whatever they feel is right. If they didn’t do anything, it’s no reason for them to be convicted of it. Reputation was a very big thing back, & it is now.  Almost all of Salem Town we’re Christians. Nobody wanted to be killed with the reputation of doing witchcraft because they we’re going to be talked about & their family was going to be disrespected.  Honor & respect is very important to me because if nobody respects you, your going to fill like your nothing really. (that’s just my personal opinion)  I would have been kind of angry in their shoes because I just did it so that I could live & your going to judge me.
