Cattle & Unicorns: A Parable
When I was a kid back on the farm, I used to help my father dehorn cattle. It was a messy, brutal affair. Two neighbor men had to come over and hold the old girls down. But it had to be done to keep the ladies docile, with no defense from the rest of the herd or from the people who would use their milk and ultimately their flesh.
Unicorns should not to be confused with cattle. They live and thrive in a world of fantasy. They frolic in a forest grown from the soil of imagination. And if you stray into their path and one of them tramples you, injuring you with her fantastic hooves, it isn't your place to domesticate her. For once she's wrestled down to earth, boxed into a pen, and dehorned by humans, she'll no longer be the shimmering, exotic creature you once admired.

For those with a superhero complex: "You can't save them all". When in doubt, remind yourself of the idiom: "A leopard cannot change its spots".

AngeleyezMama's internet is not working.
AngeleyezMama asked me to post this for her. Her internet is down so the only way you can get in touch with her is through her cell phone or her email. If you pm her on this site she will not receive it. She didn't want people to think that she was ignoring them. Her cell number and email can be found under the classified escort ads section. I also hear today is her birthday and that she is running a special. Thanks and have a nice day.
