A Monster Calls 2016

I only didn’t like it being conveyed that it was accepted for Conor to break things that weren’t his to break because he was hurting. He wasn’t the only person hurting. If it were his own things at least, okay, but not someone else’s stuff that matters to them. Being angry is one thing, but it’s another to take it out on someone else, certainly if they’re not even at fault. Do “things” matter in the greater scheme of it all? Would that woman allow everything in her home to be destroyed if it would somehow save her daughter? Maybe, probably. But it still hurts to lose things that mean something to you and her stuff obviously meant something to her.

I'm reminded of a quote I've seen floating around on the Internet for many years now.

“Just because you’re angry doesn’t give you the right to be cruel.”
