There will come a day when I'm not harassed on my run, but today was not it.
Twice today!
Once by a person asking if I hated men because I was always out alone. (He was with his dad in his 80s, who had the sense to intervene with better etiquette.)
Second time by the Evangelical newspaper vendor, who strongly wants to date me (FFS), does not listen to me telling him to leave me alone, & is *really* testing my nonviolence especially unto older frail people.
Living in peace is tough, mi gente.
@MLClark: We can only meet people where they are in themselves, and sadly not many people are in good or healthy places, especially when it comes to affection, belonging, and sex. Aside from that, a lot of people simply don't think before they do anything, and I find that covers an awful lot of people daily. Bananas.
@thedisasterautist SO weird.
How we find any kind of peace and harmony with one another is the real mystery sometimes!
