Damage

I've noticed...that, in general, I am fascinated by people.

The exception being, of course, those who hurt me (at the very least, fascination may not be the first word I would use). But even there, I feel like I am turning a corner; because any damage caused me by another person, is never as great as the damage to the one who is doing it (easier to believe, at times, than it is to feel).

And, knowing that sometimes I am that person, I have growing compassion for the pain that often creates that impulse.
