Your anger and disappointment is certainly understandable but don't lose hope; someone may return your purse w/the belongings yet. When I moved back to OH from AZ, I was so scattered that when I was offloading my luggage from the cart into my son's waiting car, neither of us noticed that I left my brief case there. It was full of all my important papers, my passport, my phone book w/all my pertinent contacts and a credit card w/a rather high limit and no balance. I was panic stricken. I, of course, called the airport and reported it, not expecting anything positive but I got a call later that my brief case had been turned in intact. There are other people like you and me out there, even if at times like this it seems not. We'll send up prayers that your things will be returned to you. It's unfortunate that this has happened but don't allow yourself to become cynical. Things like this happen to all of us at one time or another. Keep your integrity, and by all means, keep the faythe. Things can be replaced.

Don't give up. Have a momentary lapse if you must, but don't give up completely. Good deeds change the world, even if you never personally see the results. That person you returned a pair of glasses to or a purse or whatever it might be...I'm sure it changed their day for the better. They were probably kinder to their families, even if just for a few moments, and I'm sure they shared their story with people. I can't help but think at least a few smiles were born because you did what you were born to do, which is be a good person.
