I think one of the surest signs of one person's love for another is being angry at the people who hurt the one you love. what is more loving than fiercely protecting the person you love? when a parent thinks of someone hurting their child, they go immediately into predator mode - for a reason -
Paul has this quasi-boss at work who is a, excuse my french, p-r-i-c-k. (for anyone reading this who is not around my family on a regular basis, we spell all non-child appropriate words. it seeps into conversations in which children are not around. leading to very funny interchanges.)
I've met this man once. But he's mean to the one I love - mean for no reason and spitefully and all sorts of other descriptors making it very clear how very mean this person is. And despite me not knowing him at all, I want to punch him in the face. When he doesn't know its coming. Very, very hard.
Isn't that feeling a puzzling and compelling one? If anybody m-e-s-s-e-s (Didn't even want to spell out what I really wanted to say) with my loved ones I feel as if I'm ready to clock them and pull out their hair. I don't even know if I'd know how to do that!
