Hell, I am not sure the male brain ever fully develops. My point is I keep hearing about it being a friend who does this. I am just saying that I am not so sure a friend does that. But, since I am at the mic... I keep hearing things like it is just money and at least it was a friend.... as if it makes the theft any different. I think that suffering (assuming the right amount) is good if it is the just consequence. You reap what you sow. and i think it right to be held accountable to your actions. That is, i believe, how people grow up... You are right that even the closest people can surprise you with the decisions they make. And, i have had my share of people doing crappy things in my life. But, that doesn't mean you have to continue to be close to someone who poops on your trust. I have done crappy things to others. And, their distance is my just reward.
