hmmm, damaged vs. wounded

Had dinner with the Landry and J. My foundation. Damaged, vs. wounded... still a toss up. One implies permanance. The other implies the possibility of returning to normal with just a scar or two. Scars are cool and all... but I wonder if it's wishful thinking to assume I will come out with just that - or less. I think its deeper. The girls disagree.

Main Entry: damage
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): dam·aged; dam·ag·ing
to cause damage to (don't damage the furniture) (returning soldiers damaged by war)

- dam·age·abil·i·ty /"da-mi-j&-'bi-l&-tE/ noun
- dam·ag·er noun

Main Entry: wound
Function: verb
transitive verb: to cause a wound to or in

to be fair, neither of those words speaks to the extent of the harm. they only indcate that harm has been done.

in the world, i would never expect that you would give over that kind of power, to alter how you move around the world, to anyone.
Let alone someone who isn't worthy of the power to open his garage door.

Wounds heal and damage can be repaired.

Unless it's water damage. Then your fucked. Kinda like my washroom right now and the two inches of aqua my washer dumped in it last night.
