if I came from a place of importance,

or one of their own.

 

i would not have been treated that way.

though i'm sure they would protest.

 

 

matter of fact, if it was a matter of 'discussion'/'persuasion,

then there was a 'choice',

 

and that choice, had there been acquaintance,

or of higher authority within their own group.

 

it would simply be heard.

 

respectful to the person's decision.

 

stranger I may be.

 

what is evil is that the motive is far from harm.

it is exactly the opposite.

 

someone is trying to save his family.

 

and this was ignored with contempt, hostility.

all because of their ego. nothing else.

 

people like to assert dominance,

this was one instance that was far from correct.
