It seems most people I know (including myself?) who hold themselves to a high standard of behavior, are much kinder in how they judge those around them. It’s taken me YEARS to learn to be kind(er) to myself. 🙂

Wezzle killing someone isn’t on my conscience. *Anyone* dying with *any* participation by me would weigh on me, and I sympathize with Devyat.
You’re a butterfly flapping your wings. You can’t help who eventually lives or dies because of it. Just fly.
Hopefully that bomb isn’t going to be important for, say, explosively preventing the end of the universe.
It’ll go off later … it’s Chekhov’s bomb.
Usually I fully support events happening “off-camera” to tickle the reader’s imagination. But now I need to see a furralope 😉
Now I want to see a cheesegozzling furralope!
I imagine it the size of a Irish Wolfhound. Doesn’t matter how high the table is, he will get to it.
The toy poodle put the Great Dane up to it.
“There’s a loaf of yummy bread up on the counter, but I can’t reach it.
We could have a picnic on the couch with it, but I’ll have to remember to hide the empty bag under the couch cushions!”
True story!
Well, Pilot’s certainly one of the most level-headed people in the cast.
Furrlope?? Purple scurpid???
I don’t know much about you Galactic types but I DO know you have weird tastes in pets. And vice versa.
I think one of my cats thinks I taste good. He’s a garbage gut, and frequently will nip at me. I usually think it’s to get my attention; but occasionally I wonder if it’s to remind himself of the need to be patient. At some point I won’t get up quickly enough to feed him, and he’ll partake of my flesh.
Cats are predators. If it’s smaller than they are and moving, it’s food. If it’s bigger than they are and moving, it’s food waiting to happen. And cats are *VERY* patient…
People who hold themselves to a higher standard of behavior when tested know how difficult it can be — which *might* be why such folks *might* be more forgiving of others’ lapses.
Of course, failing to meet standards to which one holds others is something that never fails to get noticed by those others.
I like the way she’s obsessing over helping to kill a murderous thug, but is ignoring that she just took an action that could possibly save thousands of innocent lives.
