It's there being an object where I don't think there will be, or no floor where I think there will be. Beating up a coffee table doesn't feel the same.
Psaml 23:4, The Lord is my Shepherd:
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
