Whining, Grousing, and Garbage

She whines because her food needs salt. A 2-year-old-child dies of leukemia while she is glaring at the waiter. He grouses because the neighbor’s garbage is out two hours ahead of time. He calls 911 to report this infraction, not caring that another person had an emergency. A young mother is murdered in her home because she could not get through. An elderly woman is yelling at her neighbor, because she thinks the woman looked at her flowers. She is so mad, she walks in front of a bus when she leaves, traumatizing twenty-three children and a bus driver. A mommy’s boyfriend gets upset because a baby will not quit crying. He tries to pawn it off on a neighbor. She knows he is violent, but she has done more than her share, so she ignores his pleas. The baby ends up shaken to death. A sixty-two-year-old man begins pounding on a door to complain about the neighbor’s loud rap music. The neighbor comes to the door, laughs, and slams the door in his face. The sixty-two-year-old goes home and gets his loaded gun. It is everyone’s problem. Yours Mine. Everyone’s. Let us fix this!
