Search Results: slowing things down

So let’s say you’re someone rolling around on the internet and through a series of events you start thinking and supporting some crazy things. You start thinking of plans to scare people into doing and thinking what you want. You become a terrorist.

Do you think you would have known or would it be like an epiphany or maybe a slow paradigm shift?

And like I’m not interested in getting bogged down in “what makes someone a terrorist” arguments. Think of ISIS or the Boston marathon bombers or any other terrorist of your choice.

Do you think they knew they were becoming part of something awful?

I don't feel like forgiving him, yet, after the way he treated me last night.

Long story short: I was meant to be walking over to his house to visit him. However, another who tried to force himself on me 5 years ago lives on his street.

As I went to turn into the street, said guy pulled in with his car just ahead of me, he drove past me and I'm certain he noticed me.

I slowed my pace down to give him time to get inside his house (so I didn't have to risk speaking to him again) but he loitered in the car... so I refused to walk into the street. Even seeing this guy again would be massively unsettling for me.

So I called my boyfriend to collect me in his car, and explained the situation (he already knows what this guy did anyway).

But he was grumpy and basically just said 'I don't understand why you couldn't walk 30 metres to my house with your hood up' - as if to say, what's the big deal kinda thing.

I got annoyed at this, he got even more annoyed, i got upset and then I went home. And although he tried to reach out to me today, I never got back to him.

Am I taking this too far?
