It's funny how a lady I barely know expresses one of my most often used expressions. My friend, Bill, once exclaimed, as my sister would say, "People suck." That's it. Ever since then, a week doesn't go by when I make that declaration.
Take last night. I'm in a prayer group, specifically, a Lay Dominican Rosary prayer group. One of the most faithful of the group, died. In honor of him, I asked people to zoom in to pray the Rosary, for our deceased friend. Ready?
Get this.
Nobody came.
I repeat. NOBODY.
Dare tell me that People don't suck.
I told so many that I was worried how zoom could handle it. I told his Lay Dominican chapter. I told other Dominican friends. I told priests who worked with him. I told ALL Lay Dominicans in our Province.
Nobody came.
People suck.
This was 8:00 pm. This was our usual time. It is a small group, anyway. At the most we had five people praying at a time. Last night, there were only four. The usual participants. Praying a rosary is only 10-15 minutes.
I will say this. I was shocked when we began praying. Appalled that no one came. Legitimately "pissed." As we prayed, the anger, disappointment, and hurt gradually dissipated. By the time, we finished, I felt better, reconciled. After all, I know people suck.
