Are You Distracted?

I have noticed through observation that a lot of people are very distracted from the centers of gravity for whatever endeavor supposedly matters most to them.

You have everybody and their mama moonlighting in other people's business and nobody is fully able to know what is going on within their own houses:(

Why and how is it possible for someone to be living next to a serial killer or adults abusing their children without raising anyone's eyebrows?

Recently I called 911 to complain about neighbors having an excessive good time on a weekend night. The noise did not bother me until it went to 1:30 a.m.

The biggest thing about all of this was that the parents had their young children up at that hour as well as if they were vacationing at Disney World.

Another family was loud the same night and curtailed their activity at 11 p.m. while the other family had a kiddie pool and loud music.

I had to get involved because if you allow one to do it unchecked, then everybody else feels welcomed to do it on their own schedule.

The same family had the father telling his son not to blow a loud whistle as if the splashing and other stuff was not enough.

I called 911 around 1:30 a.m. and realized afterwards that everything might die down when the police finally arrive.

I heard a distinctive sound of 5-0 wheels whipping by at 2 a.m. and lo and behold, the family was back at it after taking a refreshment break or something.

Somehow through all of this, I realize that I lost my focus on the sleep and rest I was trying to get.

But isn't that a good reason to have loud neighbors?

Stay focused and keep smiling for more!

Peace,

Roney
