I'm human, I hoped both ways at times. When I was younger and full of testosterone, I almost prayed to get a chance to shoot a thug. I didn't analyze my thoughts much then to wander why. I know that I hated people that bullied the weak and victimized the innocent. I still do now, but the faces of those I hate are more human now, with more scars of their own victimization.
I'm still pragmatic, If I feel that I must for my family's sake, I will still quickly cross that line, but only sadly, with much dread of the consequences.
What about you Min.? Did your head ever simmer in your youth? Were you always so cool headed and pacifistic?
