Some off the NPR shows are nothing but human interest. I, though, find most human interest stories irritating rather than uplifting. This one from StoryCorps, for instance, sounds great. It is touching on many levels.
Moment of Anger Haunts Father
Touching, no? I mean, it really does touch me to know that people can reconcile their past "mistakes" and end the suffering.
Now the part that bugs me. FIFTY YEARS. It took fifty years for these two old men to talk about that incident and to complete it. I just don't have much sympathy for that.
When I woke this morning (before hearing that story on the ride to work), I was thinking about events and interpretation. It was a long, detailed series of thoughts that I won't go into here. But at the end, I rewrote an old saw:
What doesn't kill you; doesn't kill you.
Love.
