on the brighter side

the snatching incident is still scary.
i still do not want to go out or walk alone..

but after i relayed my story to some people, i have also heard a lot of stories
about similar incidents, some even worse.

i knew i have also seen those in tv and heard it on the radio or read it in newspapers.

i guess from all of it that has happened,
as i have been praying and thankful for,
is nothing happened to us during that time...

i knew i was not able to recover my things,
i knew they are still out there,
i knew the police did not catch them yet,
but i knew also that i have learned a lesson from it,
and i knew i should also be thankful
that no harm is done to us physically.

some said that there was also one instance where
the girl was dragged because she is still holding
on to her bag,
some were hurt because they forcely tooked the
bag from the owner
some has even worst trauma because the snatchers
were really close to them threatening them with
deadly weapons
some were hurt because they tried to go after those
cruel criminals
some were even killed.

material things can just be replaced.
but if we were hurt or something bad happened
to us, it was even worst.

good thing we are still unharmed.
