I recently had one of the saddest moments in my life pass me by, without much fanfare, and with a dead-weight thump in my heart. I don't know what is the worst thing to witness, but I assume it includes abuse, death and gore... so far, the worst thing I have ever witnessed was someone nosedive off of their own pedestal, a self indulgent leap into the shallows, regard thrown aside. I built the pedestal, of a good design and solid construction... it was built to stand forever, a safe place where the sun shone, but it was cracked with the hefty swing of a blunt and rude instrument, it crumbled to rubble, when the dust cleared, it was an ugly and cruel reminder that you never really know anyone.
