Leaving it behind.

[97Hope]

I wouldn't torture them to death. That's the only respect they get from me.

I think it's still a choice.

I was sexually assaulted. At the end of it - I wanted him in jail. Certain family members wanted him dead. Probably still do. Justice vs. vengeance along with respect.

None of us were "wrong" in our desires, IMO.

I'm not a hunter but the hunters I know aim for an instant kill - they don't let an animal suffer. There is no torturing them to death - they respect the animal. Animals do nothing to "earn" respect.

Now it could be argued that Manson & Hitler deserve to suffer - and I won't argue that. But that goes with my faith as well. And who I want to be inside.

I wanted vengeance at one time. I wanted a lot of things. Some times still have those thoughts - but deep down, who do I want to be? Still a choice I get to make every day.
