unsafe

They think they got away with it.
They burn their victim.
They blow him up.
They toss him in the ocean.
They bury them in the desert.
They throw 'em through wood chippers.
Sometimes, you know, years go by.
They relax.
Then they start living their lives like they didn't do anything wrong.
Life they didn't spend somebody else's life in order to get what they got.
They think they're safe from retribution,
but, you know,

you make those bastards unsafe.

--Booth, Bones 1:19

Awe

Good catch, Ginger!
This is a great article about how a sense of awe improves health.
Went for a walk in the fog this morning and I do feel better.

Teddy Roosevelt's Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
