Its a sad day when you can't walk to and from your car to your apartment. When people feel like they can violate you, just because. When you don't feel safe even in your home. When you can't go for a walk in your neighborhood. When peace doesn't exist in the world, from as far away as across the world, to as near as your doorstep. When the news stories become your life stories. When the little peace that could exist, is ruined by someone whose got nothing better to do, who will never understand a hard days work, who thinks the world owes him something, even those who haven't got much, but have worked for everything they've got.
Its also a sad day, when so many people think they are owed something, to the point that they would give away any semblence of humanity for a case of beer and two hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars that they had no idea existed until after the fact.
Its sad that we have to be so careful, just to live a normal life.
