whistling past graveyards

[Filtered to friends]

You know, it's not every day in this job that the bad guys are ordinary people.

It's happened before, of course. What we thought was something malicious and powerful turned out to be petty and small. But still evil. Make no mistake about that.

This . . . I can't say it was evil. More that it was desperate--the same kind of desperation that drives people into a frenzy to feel.

When I want to feel alive, I run. I swim. I cook. I visit family. I talk to friends. If I'm very lucky, I make love.

I can't imagine a life so empty that the only thing that gives it purpose is to risk death.

It's one thing to put yourself in harm's way to take care of others. That's a different kind of meaning.

It's another entirely to beat someone up just to feel like a man.

True, but sometimes... I wonder about the Doctor. That if sometimes his heroics aren't always brought on because he feels he doesn't mind the outcome.

Not that that is his sole motivator or anything.

I couldn't say, and wouldn't dare try.

No and I doubt evenn I lack the correct perspective to judge some of his actions
