i realise that people work hard for the things that they own. I do know they have every right to get mad about it. home invasions is a touchy subject for me. when that happens its usually because they know there is something in there and they want it...but...in other notes, i witnessed some things latly that made me think about peoples rights, when the authorities r called on an individual, whom is regarded as mentally ill due to an illegitamate statement or otherwise. they have no rights and is regarded as a danger, even if that individual is harmless.that is something that grinds my gears....as far as security goes, im not really afraid of anybody. i dont give the perp what they want, if they want fear , i give em anger, or try to understand the circumstance that at hand, when u surprise people with an opposite reaction, it confuses them.ive lost everything ive owned twice, i dont get attached to things. and the newer things that i buy and spend too much on, only last for a certain time then i craps out. i like things that can take a shitkicking, but i am very careful with things.i dont have or believe in morals ...really...if a persons morals can be changed by sociatial views of how things are supposed to be, and what is right. them good morals are formed in a controled view. the thing is, to me there is no difference in good and bad, because bad can fake good. the only good that cant be faked is love and being truthful.and forgiveness.sorry if that was a bit much.
