Funny Thing About Perspective

Funny thing about reading. Or, how things are written. @@

“Son Of Convicted Abortionist Shot In Home Invasion Attempt,” I read.

Well, I thought, I don’t know anything about (presumably) Gosnell’s son, but nobody deserves to be shot in their own home by some punk.

I read on: “Barron Alexander,spawn of baby butcher Kermit Gosnell,who changed his name after his daddy became a guest of the state….”

This, I thought, could either be merely because of harassment or nobly, because of shame, and, if the latter, it seemed doubly unfortunate that the fellow, perhaps ashamed of association with Père Gosnell, had been shot by some home invader.

But kind-of random, not really news, except famous-by-association.

“…broke into a house to commit a robbery.”

… … … … … Oh.

Perspective. It changes everything.
