Tough Guy

His shirt had the logo 'Software' on his chest, 'Hardware', an arrow pointing straight down to his crotch. I thought the 'Software' should've pointed to his head. Somehow I didn't think his heart could've been 'soft'; probably a doorman, bouncer maybe. Remember Raoul Moat, body builder killer? Perhaps I am prejudiced, with information overload, could've been a gangster. No - just a gentle giant. caring for his mother whom his father abandoned when he was just a wee defenceless kid. This world is not fair or equitable, I thought, nothing that commands one's unquestioned faith. Millions perish by earthquake and floods; survivors face a fate worse than death.
