Oathbringer • 2017
Accept the pain, but do not accept that you deserved it.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Wit separates the reality of suffering from a verdict about the person enduring it. Shallan can acknowledge what hurts without accepting cruelty as a measure of her worth.

Wit comforts Shallan in Oathbringer chapter 82, “The Girl Who Stood Up.” His counsel follows the story they build together and addresses her belief that suffering is something she has earned. Coppermind’s quotation identifies Shallan as the listener; some quotation lists use the contraction “don’t” in place of “do not.”
