fence post

i've spent my entire life being compassionate.  and i can see myself slowly becoming a cynic.

i've tried to live by king's words that "a strong man must be militant as well as moderate. he must be a realist as well as an idealist."

each step i get closer to deciding that i'd rather become a ball of unstoppable fury, i stumble upon something like chandler's "if i couldn't ever be gentle, i wouldn't deserve to be alive."

but how far could i take this boat if i wasn't constantly worrying about its wake?

update: i think i've always been a ball of fury and worked hard to keep mr hyde at bay.  now i'm more curious what mr hyde can accomplish.
