In Walks the Night

First and foremost, Amy and I got into an argument over a chair--I was "leaning against it" and she wouldn't have that, so I snapped at her and stormed off whilst "taking the Lord's name in vain." Even though Jesus is the son of God or whatever and Jews don't believe in him anyway

I hope you're feelin better, darlin. I've never found an answer to the pain and the rage any better than what I read in Epictetus. I am a stoic. I was the only one in the class who kept their hand raised (a story for another time).

Punching things is fun, though.

I don't know, it's tough--not so much the molestation, but knowing that the blame for it all is living quietly amongst members of society and managing a job. The justice system has failed me.

The justice system... The effectiveness of their methods, in regards to these matters, is unpredictable and unbalanced probably due to the complexity of such situations.

I am not a religious person but I am somewhat spiritual and I put some scant faith in the circular nature of the universe - another way of saying "karma".

Practically though, a person with a black soul will eventually eat him/herself alive.

Then again, if someone I knew went after, of their own volition, my attacker with a crowbar - I wouldn't shed a tear.
