... then let me remind you.
That even if you are used to being hurt.... I wish that I didn't add to your troubles. Even if it is impossible to go through life without harming another person, that doesn't mean that it should be done rampantly and without concern.

I will want for your moments of peace to be longer than your moments of strife.
