Not one mention or concern for the bloke he stomped out, all about the effects on him. Total scum.
Stryker, alcohol is a plague on society. Him being exposed to it at 12 years old is child abuse. From that point on the development of his character and decision making was highly likely to be impaired.
Yes what he did is wrong.
People like you love to dish out the word scum. It makes you feel good. You see the vision of his savage and horrible attack and subconsciously you reason "I would never do that, I am much better than that"
You then judge him and determine that the line between good and bad people is drawn right down the middle of you and Russell.
A friend of mine, Michael teaches primary school kids. One lesson Michael asked the kids to make a list of good and bad actions. They made a list of lying, stealing, fighting with brother or sister, caring for others, charity work, listening to parents, hugging someone who is sad, Murder etc
Michael then asked them to put the list in order from most good the worst bad. The children arranged the list across the classroom floor debating as they went.
**Michael then instructed them to go and stand on the list** on the point where they would call someone 'good'. The kids ran to their spot, arranged roughly along the line favouring the middle section.
The last instruction was for each kid to now move to where they measure themselves.
No-one moved.
Michael explained to me that he has done the exercise dozens of times. Each child defines societies divide between good and bad people by the spot on the line where they are considered good.
Stryker you may not stomp on someone's head but **I guarantee you love eating out dispite knowing you could save a starving Sirian refuge with the money.** If you stood in a room with the mother of that Sirian child I guarantee she would look at you as far more evil than a reformed Packer.
Packer has faced his own evil. He has taken responsibility for his choice and committed to being a better version of himself.
I friend of mine met him this year. One who now barely writes on here because of all the negativity. He said, "you could barely imagine a nicer bloke". Packer gave him loads of time, took an interest in him and represented himself very well.
I am glad he is now a Tiger. Welcome to the Tiges Russell. I respect what you have done with your life since recovering.
Love the distinctions in your results.
A. Lucky he didn't ask them to go and stand on someone's head.
B. And, seriously, we're all supposed to feel guilty and depressed about eating because someone else in the world is starving… and that's a strange comparison to jumping on someones cranium when you're drunk.
As for Packer - it's good he's at least trying to get past his demons but lets not make him out to be Mother Theresa.
