More bikepath garden thefts

[veronique4.livejournal.com]

Two more plants lifted from the gardens--a lavender plant and a poppy plant (total out of my pocket about $12). Also, last night someone came along (between 5 pm and 10 pm and cut about 60 poppies from the large patch that my gardening partner went to great lengths this summer to cultivate. Red, pink, yellow, and white poppies were cut; the orange were left. How bizarre. People have been loving those poppies--especially kids.

Please take pictures if you see anyone stealing plants or messing around in the gardens at odd hours. It's a violation of the entire community that enjoys these gardens each day.

Am ready to give up. Just can't deal with these petty thieves anymore.

Want honest feedback? Responding to someone's upset over theft with a suggestion that said person's reaction is invalid or philosophically wrong is, at best, disordered. Empathy is a trait that we'd like to believe is intrinsic in the human condition. No, seriously. Even animals have it.

Those without empathy are usually sick: autistic. Schizophrenic. Psychopathic. I'm going with autistic.

I know, you don't get it. It's cool, I'm ok with being the easy target for people who have a lot of stress in their lives. Vent all you want. It's good for you, right?

Ah, I see, you're an "easy target" when I say something that you disagree with. In this case, I am a clinician and I'm merely calling it as I see it. But you know, personal growth (to you) seems to be only things that you find philosophically acceptable.

Add the DSM-IV to your readings. It'll be enlightening!

Once again, folks, could we please hold off on the personal insults? Thanks.
