What something is, usually doesn't matter as much as what you do with it. A stick of dynamite can be safely used as a paperweight. It can be uses as an explosive to bring badly needed water to crops, or to blow humans into bloody little bits. Sex can be a pleasurable activity, a means of preserving the race, or a way to destroy the spirit of a human. Birds are generally happy things...until they leave something on our windshield, or our heads. Even the explosion of an atomic bomb doesn't really mean that much...unless you are in the drop zone. It's not the "thing" that matters so much as how it affects us. Some things shouldn't even really matter except we have been taught that they are supposed to. So, I try not to be upset because someone did something that I would not have done. Doesn't always work, but, I try.
