I was cliff jumping yesterday, and I started thinking: "Knives are an integral part of daily life." Think about it. Do it. How many things do you think you cut up in a day? I thought of about fourteen different things in about a minute, and I am sure that there are more. A slice of bread, a box, etc. Knives have more than one use as well. Think of how hard it would be to prepare a piece of delicious, delicious toast without a knife to spread the jam.
Yet knives are not always used for good or wholesome purposes. Some people throw knives into trees. Some people even use knives to cut things that people don't want to be cut, like important legal documents or car tires. I've even heard that some people use knives to inflict physical and emotional pain on other human beings. This depraved use of knives saddens me. Every time I cut my food into smaller, bite-sized pieces, I can't help but think of some hooligan cutting up an important legal document into smaller, bite-sized pieces. (I do not imply that the hooligan wants to eat the legal document, but the pieces are nonetheless bite-sized.)
So how do we then proceed? Do we do away with knives altogether, and start making sandwiches with two entire loaves of bread instead of slices? Or do we eat our conveniently sized sandwiches while turning a blind eye to the billions of knife related infringements on happiness that happen daily? The answer is responsibility here, people.
