Judgement Day
I look out of the window and what I see disgusts me.
Let me describe her. She's about 28 years old with longish blonde hair, loose around her shoulders, is wearing a tank top and a pretty skirt. Pretty normal. So what the hell is Sana's problem?
The two things that she happens to be carrying.
A cigarette, which is sad........
.............And a baby, which is even sadder.
This female is heavily pregnant and she's smoking.
I will honestly admit it. I don't appreciate smoking, and when I find out someone smokes, they fall slightly in my estimation. Especially when that person is a woman because generally, we have lower smoking rates than the men and I consider that victory slightly tainted every time I see another woman succumbing to the ever-popular cancer stick.
Don't get me wrong though, you can do whatever the hell you like with YOUR life. You probably already know that your insides look like charcoal, that your alveoli are slowly disintegrating, that you are paralyzing your cilia.
But did you know that your child could be born dead?
Crippled?
Mentally retarded?
Did you not think of that before you lit up?!
I mean, GO AHEAD, screw up your own health!!!!! But you have a responsibility to this CHILD. That kid didn't ASK you to bring it into the world, for God's sake!!
I don't know if you're callous and selfish or just stupid.
For your sake, female, I HOPE it's the latter, because if not, you would represent the very epitome of the worst aspects of human attitude; absolute disregard for human life.
Yes, I'm judging. Look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn't.
