I feel really sad about this, and I thought maybe writing will actually help. Honestly, I don’t know how some humans feel okay by inflicting pain on another human. It makes me wonder and ask if the same blood actually runs through this veins and if they have conscience at all. I wonder what they see when they look into the mirror, I wonder how they sleep, I wonder how their brain works, I wonder if they feel remorseful at all. Life can be so unfair, but it’s the people in it that causes it most of the time.
So, I have this very good friend of mine that we talk really well. Some time last week, I noticed I was unable to reach him. I assumed he probably didn’t get to charge his gadgets, which started to not make so much sense because it was taking too long and all his numbers were not going through. I didn’t want to get myself worked up without knowing what had happened, so I just dropped some texts and asked him to reach out to me when he could.
I received a call from him a day later and when he narrated everything that happened to me, I couldn’t close my mouth. Apparently, his apartment was robbed and everything he has worked hard for all his life was taken away from him. All his phones, his laptops, and that of the people he was with. The thieves came with guns and they were even unmasked. He told me that he was struggling with one of the robbers at a point (Adrenaline kicked in here, obviously), and the gun with the robber fired. Fortunately, it hit the bathroom door instead. I wouldn’t be able to take it if another thing had happened instead.
To make things worse, this crazy people messed with his Gmail and changed the number linked to it, and that was like the height of it for him. You know the number of things that can be attached to one’s mail, right? I can’t even imagine how painful this experience can be. I don’t know if there will ever be a way to recover the mail, but I am really hoping there is, there has to be. They took all the money in his account, except from the one he quickly blocked before they could reach.
Apart from all the things he lost, this experience has given him crazy PTSD. If anyone knocks on the door, it makes his heart race fast. If he is sleeping and he hears any small sound or noise, he wakes up abruptly with so much fear. Honestly, I can not even imagine! I wouldn’t wish this on even my worst enemy. I pray he gets out of this stronger.
He is thinking of leaving the town immediately after his service year program because he doesn’t feel safe anymore and I totally understand that. I have never experienced this and I pray to never do. The other time my phone was almost snatched from me, I know how much trauma came from that alone. Any time I passed by the spot it happened, I remember and it scares me again.
I really hope there is something like karma to actually deal with dirty people like those guys. Carting away with things people have worked so hard for? How is that even fair. It is just so annoying, so so annoying. If not physical robbery, they keep coming up with new schemes to take people’s money online, or take their material things. The whole thing has even become too rampant and I pray we never become victims of those lazy bones. I do pray they rot in jail too, Amen.
