grating expectations
Reading this morning's news, I found myself thinking the same thing over and over: "what did you think would happen?" Whether it was a woman, now dead, who knowingly married a violent criminal; or a teen, now mauled to death, who posed with a white tiger; or a Jew, now evicted, who built a house on—of all places—the Gaza strip, I feel not pity, but resentment that their needless tales of woe are displacing actual news.
