The news is hard to take. We are hit hard with killings, fires, rapes, war and all the claptrap that goes with the media. My sister and I were talking about extreme harm done to people and how everyone has a take on these events. Some people even have the gaul to say that the person done extreme harm deserves it. Sis said she cried over hearing about a woman who was severely beaten and stomped on in our home town and sustained brain damage was beaten again by the remark that she deserved it.
Now that we are both seniors it seems to me that the harshness of the world and people in it are much harder to stomach. I don't recall having these strong feelings in youth. I always managed to move on to the next topic without much commitment. Not so now. Everything hurts, all severe matters make me cry. Can't seem to help myself. Same with sis.
