Picture a fury little creature, with a scary tail. I loved critters of all kinds, reptiles and amphibians were not excluded. Rats and mice had the charm of a fury with the sleekness of of those "cooler" critters. When people meet my pet rat they're usually skeeved out by the tail. They call her dirty, they reference sewer rats. I lived in NYC for a few years and I've seen some rats and confused them for dogs. "Sewer" rats couldn't exist if there weren't any sewers. Thank you Roman aqueducts for ensuring the emergence of those "scarier" critters. We made them.
"Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again."--- Bertolt Brecht,
The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.
"How much blood and cruelty lie at the bottom of all good things!" Nietzsche,
On the Genealogy of Morals.
Oh, and the above quote is a rhetorical question. Hence the lack of question mark. Spoken out loud in the context of an argument, face to face, or even on the phone, that tone comes across.
Be autonomous.
