The Mary Vincent part was as hard as it gets...
Although the others were on adventures that caused these situations....
In her case it was another human being...
Unbelievable as a "human race" that this man was allowed to leave the courtroom alive, let alone given the opportunity to strike again...
🥺😣😒😟☹️😩

In my mental travels across the internet, it appears cruelty and inhumanity are daily themes. I was literally holding back tears on her story. I couldn't write the same amount that I wrote for the others.

She's amazing though. Despite her constant reminders she moves on. Despite her torment she's a stronger mother, person, and artist. Damn.

On another note, the state government knew they messed up. Unfortunately, someone had to die for them to realize it. It was after the monster was sentenced to death that California toughened up its laws.

Anywho, to respond to one portion of your comment, yes, they were adventurers. They put themselves in that predicament. There were other stories though. Stories that kept me up at night. The things we do to each other are horrid. I'll be adding them to the hive shortly. The story about the man surviving back-to-back nuclear bombs was pretty engrossing. It will be in my next FIH article.

You have yourself a great night friend. Thank you for your support.

Nice post

Thank you very much!

Thanks for this post! It is a remarkable one - like the perfect one in these times of fear, panic & paranoia all around the world. I liked the 1st story the most. About the surviving in the ocean for almost 4 months. Upvoted & resteemed!

Thank you for your support and kind reply. I couldn't fit everything I wanted to write about in this article. There will likely be a part two to this post because I had to leave some stories out. I wasn't sure people wanted to read through +3K word articles.

The first story was a bit on the romantic side when told by Maurice. He paints a surreal and almost fantasy like image of their experience. The reality appears to be a tad more horrid, however. The Korean ship that picked them up described them to be sobbing for joy and unable to move under their own power. He also described them as being significantly emaciated.

The Bailey's were unable to eat solid foods for two days and their limbs were significantly atrophied. The crew was amazing. They took great care of the couple before dropping them off at Hawaii (I think it was Hawaii). The crew massage the couple daily and moved their limbs so they could move about on their own.

The human condition, when we are prepared to fight, creates a survivable picture of our reality. However, sometimes, we deserve the lie. Sometimes, we do not need to know of the horror of an event. Sometimes, its best to just know that two people struggled and now they do not.

You have a great day friend. Thanks for stopping by.

I admire their will to survive. But I also admire their decision to go living free as nomads! I admire all the animals coming to sacrifice themselves for the two humans so that later they can tell this story. I admire his gratitude to those animals & strong decision to not eat meat ever since! He's a great man!

Reading your posts inspired me. Yes. Its hard to survive. But we are a resilient species. Change is inevitable. I wonder why we don't embrace it often?
