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.
