What will your Winchester House be?

You must first read the story of the Winchester House.

Okay, so Sarah was a bit of a nut job, but her deep guilt is absolutely moving.  If you believe in karmic retribution, Hell or just deep personal guilt, it is amazing that one person could have this much self-condemnation  for the privilege she enjoyed at the expense of innocents.  Most people indirectly cause suffering regularly without the slightest pangs of guilt.  Our great society is filled with people in high positions, who authorize suffering and death without any real remorse.  What will their metaphorical Winchester House be?  What will mine be?  What will yours be?
