How fucked up.

The other morning when I was translating the martyrs of Lyons and Vienne, I got to the part about the woman and the 15-year old slave boy being tortured, and all of a sudden I felt really bad for them, even though they've been dead for over 1500 years, and I was thinking how stupid the whole thing was that they were put to death, and the whole thing was very vivid for me all of a sudden.
