Because people do not do these things. Children don’t swallow pins for fun, and spit them up, bloody. And their mommas don’t force them to it. Nobody glees at a hangings or public torture. Common prickers don’t love stabbing young girls with long needles, wherever it may prove necessary. People are mostly good. Ugliness often corresponds with an inner deformity. No one goes out at night to kidnap children. You can find spots on the human body devoid of feeling.
