to be crushed is not to be hit and then left to recover it s to be left untouched unable to pass from one place to another to be crushed is not to be held down by some minor influence it s to be left alone with nothing to understand to be drowned is not to be suffered as some cruel fate it should be taken as a blessing and maybe even a gift from god but i ve never seen him give anything away and i ve never known him to have anything to say which is why i ve never felt any real need to pray
