In light of the recent events with Troy
Davis, I would like for my perfect husband to be just.
According to Merriam-Webster, the
definition of just is...
a (1) : acting or being in
conformity with what is morally upright or good <a just war> (2) : being what is merited <a just punishment>
b : legally correct : <just title to an estate>
I know that it is one thing to be just
and another thing to be an activist, which is another day, but you can be an
activist without being just. There are plenty of causes that people are
standing for that are not necessarily "morally upright or good."
Today, I am not in the best of moods.
I am upset, hurt,
pissed, frustrated, saddened, disappointed and overall down about the outcome of Troy Davis' case. These are emotions that I
don't want my perfect husband to cause in my relationship with him. I understand
that these emotions come and go with the days but in the pit of my stomach I am
feeling these. Honestly, I am trying to calm these emotions down because
all of these emotions, for me, lead to stress, which lead to a hospital visit.
My perfect husband has to be comforting.
I know I said I was doing one quality a day but today is just the most. I
am not sure if Troy Davis was guilty or innocent, but I do know 7/9 witnesses
recanted their testimony. I know that 1/9 witnesses has not spoken on
this issue from 20 years. I know that 1/9 was also suspected of the crime
and has admitted to the murder to a "friend" during a drunken rant.
I am rambling tonight but if you know me,
you know that #1 this is normal and #2 I am disturbed by Georgia
Closing Thought:
My perfect husband would be comforting
and just. He would have wanted Troy Davis to be granted clemency, so that
the real murderer could be found and all families involved would have peace.
He would have been comforting me during this saddening hour.
Rest In God's Home Troy Davis
10/9/1968- 9/21/2011
mind you he spent most of 20 years of his
life in jail. :(
