My sadness

Tuesday was an interesting yet sad day. A little boy crossed the street in front of my house.  Seemingly alone,  he crossed into daytime rush hour traffic,  and a pair of people stopped to ask if he was okay.  I was walking to my car,  and I stopped to see why the boy was there.  While waiting for the police,  his mother showed up.  I watched as she crossed the street,  and whisked him away.   I was quite angry,  but I know that I don't know the whole story.  I am not sure if I should have thrown more of a fit,  or not.  I was in a state of shock that this little guy had been left to wander alone,  and no one noticed for nearly an hour.

You know how that plays out.  I get angry and frustrated with people.  I convert that anger to sadness,  making it seem like I am sadder than I am.  But that is how it works with me.
