Christmas, family, friends, fieds, oh and a burglary...

That's what I meant in my pmail about you being an ispiration Leander.  I'd be furious and no doubt wanting to Black & Decker the kneecaps & elbows of the perpetrator/s to the pavement.

If the food's gone then it's either someone hungry or someone too lazy / skint to shop.  Possibly some skag head or something, trying to sell whatever they can to feed their habit?

Meanwhile the Police will be focussing on punishing every single speeding motorist with the full weight of the law, so less serious offences like burglary or assault which require actual detective work and possibly more paperwork too are ignored.  

I hate to troll (yes, am guilty as charged) on about these things and get all down on society, but I take a great deal of comfort in your ability to get your anger go.  I wish I was able to do the same.  So I'll end this post on a very positive note by saying it's an inspiration that someone can have {bleep} befall them, but remain optimistic.  

:pint:

Perhaps Zen was the wrong word, but tbh it was the only one that came to mind to describe how I got to this point of being able to simply let it go.

It is however something I aspire to.

It is something I too aspire to.  Once upon a time, I was tolerant and understanding of people and their mistakes but not any longer.  Thing is, I've realised that when someone commits a thoughtless act that inconveniences me, the only person upset is me.  It would be nice to be without anger, hate, jealousy, fear and prejudice but it would be like asking for the Ying without the Yang...  (if you excuse the terminology).

Understanding and empathy help combat the negative, but it's a commodity not in endless supply.
