-Depending on your specific definition, <fs xx-large>Redemption</fs> denotes the idea of clearing oneself of wrongdoing or the guilt of wrongdoing. However, it is not possible to "clear" oneself of wrongdoing. Nothing one does will ever make someone happy/OK with that their mother was heinously killed, nor will it absolve one of the guilt.  Even if you go on to save another 100 lives later in life, the harm you did was unnecessary and cannot be redeemed away (This, by the way, counts for every clear case of morally wrong conduct, even minor things). You will never be able to say that a bad thing one did was "redeemed" by anything you did thereafter. We don't have a moral account where you can transact good deeds onto and bad deeds away from - where you could do some many good things to "justify" a bad thing. Redemption like this exists purely in the realm of theology.
