I was just thinking about this lastnight. I was watching this show on A&E called, "The First 48 Hours" which basically is about homicide units trying to gather as much evidence on a case within the first 48 hours of the crime. The majority of the murders on the show are drug/money related, involve a botched robbery attempt, and occur in a bad area of town. I was thinking about how this is what people grow up in. This is a way of life, and I actually asked myself if I could even last a day in the shoes of some of these people. The answer was most definitely no. It's hard to remove yourself from the bubble you group up in, whether rich or poor, and truly understand that your life experiences might be drastically different from others, causing very contrasting perspectives on life. Good read. Thanks for sharing! It’s really funny. I was just thinking about this lastnight.
