Hyperbole: noun, exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken 
literally.

Obviously we don't wish harm to individuals; young or old.

However when individuals engage in risky behavior,
whether as a participant, a photographer, journalist, or a spectator,
my sympathy or empathy adjusts itself accordingly.

The bull, on the other hand,
obviously had no desire to be in the situation.
