When you vote, do you worry about hurting the other candidate’s feelings? Do you ever write the losing candidate a note afterwards?

While you’re misting your plants, do you ever fret that you’re not just drowning them, but waterboarding them?

Do you worry about the statues in Central Park getting cold?

Once autumn arrives, do you ever think to yourself, “But why do the leaves have to change? There was nothing wrong with them!”

When you watch documentary scenes of warfare or domestic abuse, is your first response, “That was so terrible! Now I’m going to keep thinking about it all morning!”
