Sometimes, even the best of plans will occur to you when it is too late.
I didn't realize this was a sad occasion.
There is no way of knowing for sure whether or not you can trust someone, for the simple reason that circumstances change all of the time.
For every teenager I know, having a phone is a mixed blessing, because your parents can press a button and figure out where you are.

An Overall Feeling of Doom that One Cannot Ever Escape no Matter What One Does
Historically, a story about people inside impressive buildings ignoring or even taunting people standing outside shouting at them turns out to be a story with an unhappy ending.
When you start reading nonfiction books about piracy, you realize that it's actually just a history of desperate people.
Never, under any circumstances, let the Virginian wolfsnake near a typewriter.
It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view.
