Sigh...
If I weren't so saddened by the events of this weekend, I'd be downright angry. My good friend got her car stolen at a party on Friday night. This gal is a single mom and works about as far away from home as I do and now since she has lost her car, she has lost her job too. :(
We rave-goers have a saying: PLUR, it means peace, love, unity and respect. Stealing someones car is far from respectful. My friend wasn't the only one either...2 other cars got jacked and a few others got broken into. Some guy even got a $400 Burning Man ticket stolen.
Why do people have to hate like that? I was thinking this weekend about why I get so depressed...its because people do things that make me so angry that I feel ill will towards them, when everything spiritual inside myself tells me that even THINKING about violence and revenge is wrong. I try to live by the rule of "Love Thy Neighbor" but what if your neighbor is a complete and total jerk?
What posesses people to harm others? The jerks who stole and broke into cars didn't know my friend...they didn't have any reason to be mean to her.
Sigh...the more and more mean-ness I see the more depressed I get. I just wish I knew what in this world has made some people feel the need to make others miserable.
:( I'm a very sad Fyrewolf today. Maybe I shouldn't think about stuff like this.
