When I was 18 or 19 I lived in Detroit and worked for my dad, who owned the family’s Pawn Shop.
The store was open back in 1918 by my grandmother, who had eight kids. He husband died at a young age and grandma needed to support a big family. It was the time of prohibition in this country.
Sweet gran would wheel my aunt in a stroller and under my aunt, she had bottles of whiskey which she sold to make a living!
Sometimes a person would need whiskey and didn’t have any money so my gran wound give them a bottle of whiskey, then hold on to their watch or ring; until they paid her. Of course there was interest added on! This is how the Pawn Shop was started!
At that time I had a girlfriend who lived in Canada, and Saturday nights I crossed over the Ambassador Bridge and headed to a little town on Lake Eerie, to see her.
Late that night, my dad called and said, “Get back to Detroit immediately, there is a riot and they are looting and burning down the city!
First thing in the morning I drove to the bridge to try and get back home to help dad at the store. Well every thing was shut down, including the bridge and I couldn’t get back into The States for three weeks!
I was stuck on the Lake with my girl, her family, a boat and a great trampoline in the back yard.
I watched the riots on television.
Fast forward to some fifty some years later, and the USA has exploded with civil unrest! Honestly not much has changed; where racism is concerned!
Although I support people’s freedom and being able to do what they want to do, to help make society better; whether they are green, white, yellow, brown or black. Looting however; serves no purpose for the greater good. I understand the frustration though.
This is the time to wake up from your slumber and come to the realization that every human being is pink on the inside! Everyone has a Heart, and a Soul. No matter if you believe in God or you believe in the stars in the sky, we are all on this planet to learn and to grow.
If you are doing things to make this a better place and learning from the lessons that are handed to you; you make the planet better. If you are blaming other for your situation or worried about someone getting more that you, plus living a life of struggle; it’s time to wake up and move forward with your individual contribution to society. What is your purpose here? How can you make a difference?
If you are feeling out of whack like most people are, with the Corona Virus, Curfew, Rioting etc. come on in for a treatment so I can balance you out! It’s very important that you don’t sink deep into depression or anxiety. Call or text me at 305-407-0120.
