I would wake up at five in the morning and go work out. Then I’d come home, get the kids ready for school, drop them off, and come back to the house and cry. I was supposed to be working. But mostly I just sat and stared at the Word document that had become my daily journal and wept. Then I would try to nap in the guest room until it was time to pick up the kids from school.
It’s amazing the energy it takes not to cry in a Target aisle or to not pound the steering wheel in the school pick-up lane. It’s incredible the sheer force of will it takes to look people you don’t know in the eye and say, “How are you? Oh, me? I am fine.” Over and over without screaming that everything you love and hoped to have in this world was unraveling and you couldn’t fix it.

“You did so for the greater benefit of others. For the sick. For the dying. In hopes of helping them. That is exactly where we are now.”
“Will I fly? Up to God?”
“Yes. You’ll see the Passage first then, as you go. Try to call back and let us know where it is.”

Personally I always have to have at least one self-destructive behavior at all times. I’ve shoplifted, spent way too much money on credit cards, starved myself, gotten really dehydrated by only ever drinking coffee and beer, driven ridiculously fast, done stupid road-ragey maneuvers, slept all day and stayed up all night, stayed in bed for 24 hours at a time, stayed in bed for 24 hours at a time with two bottles of wine, taken hours-long lonely drives every weekend afternoon with all my cds, etc..
I think self-destructive behavior like this is related to depression or lack of self-worth in general.

"Yes, I have been confronted by deniers, revisionists, and I have one simple response for them: I know I had a mother and father, and I never saw them again after Auschwitz, nor my older sisters. So if you know so much, tell me what happened to my family. If my story isn’t true, I guess you will agree with me and will repeat after me, that you want your family to have the same destiny as mine did. If you don’t believe my story about how my family ended up, I want you to say out loud that you wish the same thing for my family that happened to your family. And they are usually silent."

“The compunction against killing occurs in close combat situations, including aerial dogfights where pilots can see each other. It does not prevail with killing at a distance by artillery or bombing from airplanes. Machine gun teams also boost the firing rate because individuals cannot simply pretend to fire or intentionally mis-aim. In aerial combat one percent of pilots made over thirty percent of kills; the majority of fighter pilots never shot down a plane, perhaps never tried to.”
“In the U.S. Civil War, well-trained soldiers fired over the enemy’s heads, or only pretended to fire. Of 27,000 muzzle-loading muskets recovered at Gettysburg, 90 percent were loaded, almost half with multiple loads! That could not be inadvertent. Further evidence was the low kill rate in face-to-face battles.”
