Stop Throwing Stones! 

A lesson unlearned.

#95 · · read

My friend Anthony and I were sitting on the stony beach of seaside resort Brighton, on our England reunion trip. We were deep in conversation, when a couple of children sitting behind us started throwing pebble stones. I have a feeling that they were aiming for us. It was so funny that their parents sat just next to them, completely unbothered. They didn’t explain to them that they could hurt us, didn't draw conclusions that one shouldn't throw stones. They just sat there and let it happen.

Now I wonder if the world leaders of today were once like that. Sitting on rocky beaches, throwing stones, aiming to hurt people, while sat next to their parents who haven’t learned this lesson either. Never learned that one should not hurt people. For fuck’s sake, you idiots, would you finally stop throwing stones?
