Somewhere within us, it's human nature to on rare occasions want the bad guy to get blown away, someone who just was always so malicious, so horrible to a fellow human being, a sadistic master as were:
Opening Line: "When was the last time, you saw the sunrise?
Closing Line:
Ivan, Did you see it rise this morning" Said Thomas Sullivan Magnum to Ivan their ex-torturer from the Vietnamese War....Magnum in possession of the weapon.......and then the shot rang out...echo, echo, echo.
On a lighter note like watching the wicked witch die off in the Wizard of Oz we had an especially evil aunt, humorous but evil to the core, mean spirited, malicious, verbal abuse mastered by one woman.
The day of my mother's funeral (my Aunt's main Prey) two of her children who would be my cousins stopped me on the church steps to tell me their excuses for not attending the wake or burial, their mother had just had a final brain surgery. I could only feel relief of spirit.
How one woman could wish someone's children to be born dead, I never could fathom, but I did not take it lightly, sad to say when she passed after a very long life, my reaction was not standard.
We are human, humane?
We all walk through our days together knowing we're not quite alone in it. When one is weak, another is strong, that with time and care we can survive it all, enjoying all the great days in between. The Good outweighs the Bad, and Forgiveness walks hand in hand with Love, doesn't it?
