Saturday morning reading...
How many times in life can we make decisions that are important but will not hurt anyone? Are we obligated--maybe we are--to say yes to any choice when no one will be hurt? We use the word hurt when talking about things like this because when things go wrong it can feel as if you were hit in the sternum by a huge animal that's run for miles just to strike you.

The thought I am really having reading this is why you put this up? What affected you the most that impressed you to put this qoute up? Yeah... I know your answer could be that you just like it... or maybe its something else. I don't really know but that is the thought I just had so I am sticking to it :)
I don't really agree with the idea about important decisions. I think there are many important decisions that can be made without hurting people. I put this post up because I love the imagery/idea of an animal running for miles just to hit YOU. The like the idea that something without thought would have some innate desire to hurt only me and going to such extreme lengths beyond it's rational capacity to do so. It captures the essence of victimization.
