One of the things they taught residents in medical school was that when you heard hoofbeats, don’t think zebras. In other words, don’t immediately assume a bump was malignant, flu-like symptoms were Ebola, a cough was the Black Death. For the most part, it was good advice.

Human
If there was one thing he’d learned in the war? Human were like toddlers. If there was something that could kill them, they would beeline for that event like the gunfight/ knife fight/ hand-to-hand was calling their name and promising free Starbucks. The Savior by J. R. Ward
Change
“I was railing against all the injustices in this world, and I specifically remember your suggestion to me. You said that if I didn’t like something, I should work to change it.
