Just found out a former best friend of mine from my early college days is a convicted felon for owning multiple illegal firearms. He wasn't a threat or danger to the community or anything but our town is "super-liberal" so they went after him.
Another former best friend of him from my childhood (known him since 2nd grade) is serving a 10-year sentence for manslaughter. He killed a man in a bar over a girl.
Both of them are girlfriends, actually both have fiancees. Yes, even the one in prison is engaged.
Then you have me. No criminal record. No girlfriend. No friends. What did I ever do wrong? Maybe I'm being punished for having criminals as friends.
I'm reminded of this every.single.day. People who have things they don't deserve. People who can't get things they need badly. People who take everything for granted...
