“You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages.” — Neil Gaiman, The Sandman
On the way to work last week I saw a Black Maria. On normal days I take a moment to be grateful.
But on that day, my puny little car feels as suffocating as a Black Maria transporting criminals to their next pen.
Why do we still do the things we're going to be punished for?
