I live every day with the knowledge that what I do, what I say, what I wear, what I EAT in public can help or hurt mutant-human relations. sometimes, it's too much and I say screw it and wear what I want and do what I want and I wonder if I set mutant-humans relations back because of it. you can pass. you can put on jeans and a long sleeve shirt and no one would notice that you're missing an arm or a leg, they wouldn't know you're a mutant regardless.
WANTING to make someone hurt and actually going out and doing it are two different things. I want to do a hell of a lot of things that I will probably never do.
and you know what? sometimes, wanting isn't so bad. it's when it goes beyond venting and becomes an obsession. that's when it's a problem.
and just for my curiosity - how would you stop me?
