We're all oppressed. Though some more than others.

Often my brain speaks to me in quotations -- lines from movies, songs, books, poems. Today I got struck by this strange moment of irrational paralysis and what popped up was "Damaged people are dangerous", which is from the Josephine Hart novel Damage and probably the line made it into the movie of the same name.

Today I looked up the full quote: "Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive."

It takes on a whole different meaning in my psyche now.
