$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / "Richard, in being so fierce toward my \ | vampire, you were doing what you wanted | | to do, even though you thought it was | | going to hurt somebody else. He even | | told you he'd be hurt if..." | | | | "He was going to suck my blood!" | | | | "Which is what we do to anyone when we | | tell them we'll be hurt if they don't | | live our way." ... | | | | "The thing that puzzles you," he said, | | "is an accepted saying that happens to | | be impossible. The phrase is hurt | | somebody else. We choose, ourselves, to | | be hurt or not to be hurt, no matter | | what. Us who decides. Nobody else. My | | vampire told you he'd be hurt if you | | didn't let him? That's his decision to | | be hurt, that's his choice. What you do | | about it is your decision, your choice: | | give him blood; ignore him; tie him up; | | drive a stake through his heart. If he | | doesn't want the holly stake, he's free | | to resist, in whatever way he wants. It | | goes on and on, choices, choices." | | | | "When you look at it that way..." | | | | "Listen," he said, "it's important. We | | are all. Free. To do. Whatever. We | | want. To do." | | | \ -- Richard Bach, "Illusions" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
