I’m watching The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster. It’s affecting me in a strange way. Makes me want to write. To admit an awareness of the harsher side of life.
People hurt people. It makes me sick. I heard a man betray his wife’s confidence today. They had a disagreement over the phone. She said something that didn’t make sense to him. So he repeated her words in front of a group of people he knows. He mocked his own wife in front of others. He did not honor her in public. He did not cherish her.
Poor woman. She was ridiculed in front of his acquaintances. I felt sick. He violated the most sacred bonds between to people. He chose to look good (or try to) in front of others rather than to protect her.
Some will not see the issue. I pity them. It’s only when you hold something so dear to your heart you guard it jealously that you have anything to live for.
