STAND

It's crazy how you can work your whole life for something and people think they can come and take it from you.  You WORK to live in a nice house....to drive a luxury car.....to wear REAL diamonds...to enjoy your life.  Then some lazy, poor excuse of a human being comes along and robs you, to take what YOU have labored for because they refuse to work.  People blame it on the recession...on hard times. We all are living in these days of high gas prices...inflated store prices....high unemployment rates.  Life is difficult for ALL of us but it doesn't entitle people to commit crimes....to rob....to steal...to write bad checks.  You've just got to hustle harder...be more determined....and think out side of the box. This is life and it's never been easy, so why are you expecting a break now?

I never understood some people views on crime and me wanting to be a defense attorney. But after talking to victims and being a victim, now I totally understand.  Being a victim of a crime or watching someone close to you be victimized, really changes your life. At first they're defenseless, because they've been taken advantage of.  Then they either want to fight back or lay down.  God forbid they lay down because then the assailant has gotten a free pass to strike again. If you don't stand up against who wronged you, you leave opportunity for them to do the same thing to someone else.  Many don't stand....I saw it today.  And it bothers me....it infuriates me because why wouldn't you fight for your livelihood? Why wouldn't you stand for justice...for those who were wronged before you?  Why are you allowing fear to control your life? For once, please stand for right!!! Please fight for yourself....for your family!!!! If you don't stop it, it'll NEVER end. Why wait on a hope and a prayer when it lies in your hands?♥
