Let me say this upfront: I'm not a violent person by any means.
Quite the opposite.
For example, I have never hit anyone in my entire life.
And it wasn't until he was forty-two that he committed his first murder.
Considering the current work environment, it feels a bit late.
Granted, six more were added a week later.

“You don’t have to do things you don’t want to do.
Only when you accept that fact will you be free.”
I don't have to do things I don't want to do.
I am free.
Less than four months later, I came to understand the concrete concept of freedom.
I got to experience the freedom of not having to do things I didn't want to do.
Unfortunately, because of this, we had to limit the freedom of others.
Because he took someone else's life.
But I didn't join this meditation course to save the world.
It was to save myself.

We knew that Dragan's calls had been wiretapped for years, so we never had important conversations over the phone.
Instead, we established some codes of conduct between lawyer and client.
…it's hard for someone who can't even remember who broke someone's leg the day before yesterday to memorize six codes that indicate a dangerous situation.
So we decided on exactly two passwords.
One was 'seeing the Titanic', the other was 'eating ice cream'.

“No event is good or bad in itself.”
… a man was burned.
Another man beat the burning man.
Yes, the idea that a violent criminal is a psychopath is just an assessment.
Not good.
…burning to death is not a disgusting thing.
It's just a kind of evaluation.
In theory, yes.

Just then the child heard a knock on the door.
“Dad, what does that mean?” Emily asked.
“That’s… a job.
My dad had some work left to do, so he put it in the trunk.
“I need to take that home quickly too.”
…Emily raised her index finger and looked at me seriously.
“Dad, you can’t work.
The picnic comes first.
“You can do the work later.”
… “Picnic first.
“Then work.” I repeated.
That solved all the problems.
