Don't feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy.
You don't bite the women of other males.
No one deserves to be whipped like an animal.
We need hope, or else we cannot endure.
If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it- to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger.
I don't quite comprehend why you'd force someone to bow when the purpose of the gesture is to display allegiance and respect.
