Overdeveloped Moral Compass

February 3rd, 2010 · 7 Comments

When I was kid I stood up for a little neighbor girl when a boy called her racial slurs and told her to go back to her own country. I was only ten years old but I knew that was wrong. She has just as much of a right to be here as the stupid little racist brat. When I told him to pick on someone else he punched me in the eye.

Right now I’m feeling like ten year old me. I wish that I didn’t get so incensed when I see injustice. Why aren’t the people around me upset when they witness felonies within our own family? Everyone says crap like, “No harm no foul.” Well, I say fuck that! A felony is a felony.

Life would be a lot easier if I cared a little less. But then I guess I wouldn’t be me. So I’m just sitting here, taking deep breaths, getting ready to be around my family tomorrow and not lose my shit.

    Any chance you’ll tell us more specifics?

    One of grandpa’s sons from his first marriage illegally withdrew a couple hundred grand from his trust (federal bank fraud) and I’m the only one upset.

    I can see why you’d be annoyed. That is very wrong. I would think the law will catch up to them.

    Thanks Egan, I sure hope so.

    I can understand the burden of having a strong moral compass but the world needs people like you in it.

    I agree with you and Egan- what he did is wrong.

    I would be losing my crap right now. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this right now. It’s even more frustrating to be the only one who is so acutely aware of the wrongdoing.

    I agree with Egan – it’ll catch up eventually.

    the only thing that really matters is the anonymous phone call received by the attorney general reporting the crime … :)
