"There but for the grace of God...", yes?
So, I try not to presume I can cast the first stone of criticism at that couple.
(There are more compassionate ways to comment on their poor choices, no?)
Armed as I am, and as situationally-aware as I try to be when outdoors,
I can still imagine lots of ways criminals might get the better of me,
and I can not presume I've imagined ALL such ways.
None of us will stay young and strong, or wise and prepared, forever.
We all have it coming, every single one of us:
a day, an hour, a heartbeat of utterly-humbling weakness.
