Maybe OT - Thank you God for the gift of life
On Monday I was going to my Pilates/kick boxing lessons as usual but felt too tired and decided to stay home. I usually pass to the supermarket and/or have something to eat in my way home.
Today I read the news a guy was killed by 2 armed men in that supermarket around the time I usually go. This was the same place where my laptop was stolen and car window was broken. He still had belongings with him so only God knows what the murder was about.
I am shocked and so grateful I stayed home that day. God this market is superclose to my home and work.
In my country violence has escalated in a way we have not seen for decades. I am at a loss of words. But I feel grateful nothing major has happened to me. I am sure it has been God. I am so, incredibly lucky the bad guys just wanted the computer. And that I was not there when the crime took place.
I have not told any of this to my family, it would just worry them.
Thanks for letting me share. I am really sad for myself and other people that are hard working, respectful and can't even go to the park nearby out of fear. This is no way to live. I feel very vulnerable.
