Why do victims of violence have to get over stuff? Why are those who perpetrate violence getting away with it? This is the essence of my post today.

Should I or shouldn’t I?

Paper Bullets of the Brain
"I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long (against marriage): but doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe … Continue reading Paper Bullets of the Brain
