Paragraph from the book’s intro:
Put yourself in this scenario: If you are in a good mood and reading your book and I tap you on the shoulder to get your attention, it may annoy you slightly. But if I tap you on the shoulder where you happen to have a gaping wound festering, you would scream high holy murder and likely slap my hand. You are already in pain and having a hard time concentrating, and here I come, totally oblivious to your discomfort, and hurt you. You would be outraged and act out. You might also then feel guilty or ashamed for hitting me once you realize that I was just trying to get your attention and meant no harm. If the wound did not already exist, would you not have simply been annoyed with my mindless behavior? Would you have gotten so angry?

I’m not too sure still about how correct my paragraph trees are, but I try to think about the relationships when they’re not explicit in terms of what, when, where, why, and how. That’s helps see how two nodes have a relationship. But still not sure if everything about that is correct.
