My capacity to feel fear has worn out, as if it's a muscle that can do no more.

You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

Ask not that events should happen as you will, but let your will be that events should happen as they do, and you shall have peace.
