The difference between thought and deed

You know when you’re driving, and someone pisses you off, and for a moment, you sincerely wish they’d burst a tire and careen off the road? Yet, if a fairy materialized in your passenger seat, and offered to actually drive them into a guard rail with a wave of her wand… you’d think a moment, chill the fuck out, and decline her offer.

That’s the difference between thought and deed. It’s why reading someone’s diary is so heinous and self-destructive: you cannot hold them accountable for what you “learn”… but neither can you forget what you’ve just read.
