The People You Meet

So, it's interesting... I've been emailing with the new trustee... There's things to setup.  Stuff that we have to sign and what not.  That's our end.  We've been super helpful and quick to sign stuff and get it back.  The new trustee rocks.  Of course I've come to find out that he's from PA.

So that just adds to me liking him even more.

And then there's the other end of things...

The old trustee.  The one that lives in Florida.  I've just learned that he's not been very agreeable in letting the trust go.  But, I'm not surprised.  That's his style.  Go kicking and screaming.  So the new trustee is working through it.  Better him than me.  My thing is this...

Well, it just makes me appreciate the people that I do meet in my life that aren't like him.  I mean, he's part of my life story.  If I'd never met him, or rather if my grand parents had never met him... Well my life would certainly have been a lot different.

I guess for one, I might actually think Florida is an okay place.  But because of the people I've met in life and the events that have occurred.  I just don't think I'll ever go to Florida ever again in my lifetime.  It seems silly.  But I just have nothing but hate for that state, as soon as I would step off any plane I would just feel anger because of what has happened.  I would just be filled with hate.  I have nothing but hate running deep in my veins for Florida.

Maybe this is a little extreme of an example or a thing to say but... It's a bit like if you were raped would you back to the place where you got raped?  Probably not.  Would you want anything to do with the person that raped you?  That harmed you.  That caused you pain or anger?  Nope.  You'd never want to go back there.  Because you'd feel nothing but hate as soon as you did.

It's kind of the equivalent of being monetarily raped via your family's wealth.  I'm sure it happens a lot.  I'm sure people try to do things to other people to control their assets and they do everything they can until the bitter end.  It's just how people are.  It's why the courts are filled with cases.  There's probably just TONS of cases of one person screwing over another person.

Instead of the person just being like oh... I guess I'm doing something with my actions that is making someone else upset, or hurting someone else, or causing pain or anger.  Maybe I should change what I'm doing so that I don't upset that person anymore.

Yeah, ya think?  But there are good and bad people everywhere. (I just feel like PA has more good people on average)

This is one of the reasons why I've always just been so skeptical on the whole God thing.  I just can't imagine a God sitting there watching this whole trust situation and then sitting back in a leather chair up in the offices of God tapping tips of fingers together, think Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, and looking out the window, "Excellent.  Ah yes, everything is going exactly according to my plan.  People are getting screwed nicely."  Or then the God assistant is like... "Oh what's that over there on that part of the planet?"  And the God turns to a girl get raped.  And saying... "This is all part of my plan".

I mean how?  Really? REALLY?  That's part of your plan?  That's terrible!

"God see's all things at all time."

So, he's seen every instance of rape... and done nothing to stop it?

I'm sorry for the profanity but THAT'S FUCKED UP!

I mean I just can't stomach that.  I can't.  At all.

It's so hard to believe that.

So my heart goes out to anyone that's ever had anyone basically take something of another person's.  Be it tangible physical things, or monetary things... Or something like rape.  Where they take the person down to feeling completely powerless and worthless.

Good plan God, good plan.

I get it, there are people that believe otherwise and hey, if you can manage it without questioning it... Hey, you do you.  But I have questions.  I have hesitations.  I have reservations.

Do people that do bad or horrific things know they are doing it?  Do they stop and say... Oh snap... I really am causing someone else pain.  I need to stop what I'm doing and change my actions.

So anyways... That's the latest with the trust stuff.  Just waiting.  Hopefully it will all get resolved one day.  The good news is I won't ever take the money I eventually get and spend it all on a trip to Disney World.  In fact I'll NEVER go to Disney World because I'll never again step foot in Florida. Because the moment I would step off the plane... I would feel as though I'm being raped. I would feel nothing but anger and hatred until I was flying back to PA.

I mean hey maybe some day some how someone might change my mind.  But I don't see it happening.  I see myself having nothing but hate for Florida until my dying day.

I just can't imagine any reason to have any kind of fond feelings for Florida in my future.  To me?  It's my least favorite place on the planet, without a doubt, without reservation or hesitation.

And it's all because of the people I've met and the events that have occurred.
