I'm just commenting on how often it is that the people we are supposed to look up to for moral authority, pillars of the community, etc, are the ones who have the most skeletons in the closet and do a lot of damage. I'm always outraged but never surprised about how horrible people can be to one another, or animals or the planet.
I don't blame you for keeping your thoughts on this to yourself. I'm sorry it happened to you.
I'm always surprised. I guess it's just the way that I'm wired, because you'd assume I'd be a much different person than I am after some of my experiences, but I tend to assume the best in people anyway. Each one of those bad things and those bad people was the exception to the rule. In certain ways, I'm a very slow learner.
You're right about how it does seem like the people whom everyone should be looking up to are often some of the worst people in reality. Why can't I seem to assume this by now? I can be so Pollyanna.
