My events today.

Every day things happen that can be bad or can be good, depending on how we look at it. I have reached a point in life where I always think that there is something behind every circumstance that happens to us, there are always episodes that go against our inner peace.

My beautiful plants.

Today was a day that dawned just like any other, calm on the one hand, an awakening of gratitude in the first place to God for his mercy in giving me one more day of life.

But it didn't stop there, it’s when my assistant, Julia, arrived (she’s the one who opens the office) she opens the door that leads to my office, which is the same door that opens to my little plant sale.

She calls me and tells me that there are some cacti lying by the front door, but she doesn't see the other plants lying around. Everything looks fine… But I immediately looked over to a high counter where all my bigger cacti are and to my surprise, they were gone.

Some uninvited friends once again broke into my house during the night to steal my plants. He or she took almost all my mother plants. In these pots there were many cacti ranging from $5 to as much as $15.  In total they took my best cacti, costing approximately $70 to $100.

Cacti and succulents are in fashion and in many places they are selling them for a dollar each. I have many species but it appears that some of them caught the attention of a certain individual who preferred to steal them instead of buying them.

But it doesn't matter... these things can be recovered. I have already been replanting almost all the species that were stolen and I already have substitutes… One species was the only one of its kind I had so I’ll have to look for it in the plant sales places to see if I can get it.

What worries me the most, and is what I am taking action on, because the entrance to the plant sale is shared with the same entrance to go to the doctor's office. It could be that today they come in for the plants and tomorrow they want to come in for my equipment, and that would be a big loss, a way bigger loss, because I’m still paying for my ultrasound equipment and I would not like it at all if someone took it.

They are already fixing the entrance where they came through. Tomorrow they will put in some longer tubes, as accessories they’ll put in some nails with the tip end up so they’ll be a little careful if they want to go through the same place again.

First, it will have an added height of about 30 cm higher and some pointed nails at the top.

I’ll have to buy a camera later. I need to know which of my neighbors are coming into my house to supply their water requirements and now plant requirements.

 My main concern is what makes me think about the extent of people's misery. To think about the way they think about how they can make the most of other people's resources rather than making a sacrifice on their part to work hard and achieve it.

All this is a consequence of people's lack of education. Trying to somehow get something in an easier way than how others obtain it with sacrifice.

Lack of education makes people put their lives in danger and the lives of others as well. Because they never come alone to carry out their misdeeds but come accompanied.

The lack of scruples when assaulting other people's property and taking what people have built with their effort is something that implies a petty mentality and a brain that works at a low percentage.

Because if people who have in their minds to carry out a robbery were to think about how to do things efficiently, with minimal investment but maximum effort. They would achieve more than having to sneak in at night and take the risk of being caught by the law.

This is why the jails are full of young people who would go out on the street to do petty theft and then when caught commit major crimes.

From unsplash.

I remember when I was working in the public health sector there were boys coming from juvenile prisons. They would say that they had started by doing small things and as they went in and out of jail they would learn to commit major crimes, to the point that they lost their sensibility and had to kill to achieve their misdeeds.

For nothing, because then they were imprisoned again and as I said at the beginning, their mental capacities are reduced and they are discovered very quickly by the criminalistic units.

There was a young man who came to me for a study and the nurse asked him why he was in prison and he answered that he had killed an adult in a robbery. The nurse asked him why he murdered him if they could very well arrest him and leave said man alive. To which the young man says that sometimes he just feels like going out to kill instead of stealing, but the robbery is the reason for his outing, if a person shows up at the place of the robbery and he is not killed… he kills first.

Society is increasingly coming to an ecatomb, where some people or many of them no longer want to study, because they see that the possibilities to grow economically are done better in investments or negotiations, but not everyone knows how to negotiate!

And the young people who see someone progress think it is easy because their lack of education does not allow them to see all that a student goes through. He educates himself while he is being formed and that helps him to be a person who will be able to channel his investments in a better way.

There is a lot of empty mentality in our society. We have a lot of young people acquiring false values. The center of the family is being undermined, there is no interest in talking to our children, they aren’t being cared for as they should be because of the intricate world we live in. We get caught up in the whirlwind of the outside world and we forget our own world at home, our family, our children.

We are losing everything. We are losing our family, our children, our society, the world. We are letting it all go down the drain.

We have to do our duty to our family, to our children and to the society we live in, because eventually, it will be too late for everyone.

I don't know what you think about this topic and I would really like to know your opinion in the comments.

Thanks to all my dear friends who read my content and to all of my sponsors for being here.

I'm sad about your plant and scared for your safety, you should buy a camera as you said or try to pet some dog in your office that will scared greedy people. I also noticed that most of the criminals today are young. That they're not scared to do such things. From smaller things to bigger scales that's still a crime.

Yes, I am already taking measures. I can't have dogs because they would destroy the plant garden for sale. But the security cameras and strengthening of the walls and fences I am already doing. Thank you for your support.

This is so bad. Some human beings are just cruel to destroy people's thing and cause sadness to them. $70-$100 is too much for them to just steal like that. At least you are taking some steps to avoid them coming again. May God provide money for the camera too so you can track the thieves coming around.

It is money that is generated again. In fact I replanted all my cacti and in a week they will be back on sale. But breaking into other people's houses to steal is what is not discussed.

It's a really messed up world; one person goes through the stress and hard labour to being productive, the other comes out of no where and steals it because he thinks he's entitled to it.

It's annoying, I'm so sorry for your loss ma'am. I do hope you're able to recover them in a little time.

Are you a doctor? Or perhaps a laboratory specialist? You mentioned something about ultrasound equipment.

That is scary on your part, especially that it's only you and your son in your house.. No masculine man can protect you in case you encounter the thief face to face. You better install a CCTV and make your fence higher. Double lock your doors..

The society really is getting scarier! I just can't imagine that the young man just answer like killing is a normal thing to do. ☹️ I really feel bad for the cacti you gave your efforts to take care of. Hopefully they will realize that what they are doing is bad and choose to do good thing instead.

They are young people who are totally out of empathy with society and believe that we are all their enemies. Killing is like living for them. I sow again.

That is the truth that some people don't want to accept. If you start doing something bad, there is a big chance that you'll be tempted to do it again at later times, perhaps at a much bigger and more dangerous scale. I hope they'll be arrested and learn from their mistakes.

I am sorry for what happened to your plants. Planting is not something we just do out of boredom. For some, it really is a passion. I just hope it will never happen again. I'm good with putting a camera so you can check it afterwards. And please stay vigilant.

I am so sorry for what happened to your plants gertu :(. Hopefully that they will not do it again or atleast be caught when they do. Raising plants is never easy. People should know the sacrifices of every person just to grow their plants before they decide to steal it. You are right, many young people really lacks in education and that is the reason of those barbarous actions.

For me, planting is a passion, not a sacrifice. My discomfort is for the action of stealing, not for what has been stolen. Thank you for your support. They get used to living like this.

The thieves knew what to steal, they went for more expensive ones. It is so low for some people to steal plants these days and I am sorry to read about losing your mother plants, but yes, they can be replaced. It is just saddening that some people resort to such an act instead of working with their own hands to earn money.
