The man in orange.
My first thought was: “Okkkk? Orange top and orange pants early in the morning? Weird..”. But then when I noticed the handcuffs and the police officer with him: “Oh shit, he’s a convict I’m scared”, and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one thinking that. Then I realised how unfair it was of me, how unfair it was of everybody, to have those thoughts. True, he made a mistake, but I don’t think it’s right to forever use it against him. We all make mistakes, some light, some grave, but mistakes all the same. And to hold that man’s mistake against himself.. it’s just not fair. So I guess this is the time where I quote Oscar Wilde: “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” Good day.
