Its all perspective. From where you are sitting you can really only guess at anothers persons perspective. I remember the first time this guy told me he grew up next door to a cop and he thought all cops were heroes. I was floored because my reality was totally different from his.I get what he is saying, Irish. It took me awhile to get what *** (my black friend) meant, too. A long time and actually LISTEN to what he was saying. And this after he spiraled down.
My ex roomie that I miss and wish would come back....same with him. BUT...his job is working with at risk kids...black and white....juveniles. So not only is he big brother to these kids, he gets paid for it, and he gets BOTH worlds. And believe me...there are two worlds for these folks. Being white myself, I have my flaws and I still don't "get it"...just like with my OP where I was peeved until my brain opened up. It happens from time to time, lol.
