There is a
story of a 92 year old woman from Florida, U.S.A who was arrested after she fired
a handgun into her neighbour’s house when he refused to give her a kiss. Helen
Staudinger told Marion County sheriff’s deputies that she walk next door to
speak with her neighbour, 53 year old Dwight Bettner, who she said had ask her
to leave until he had given her a kiss.
After a brief
argument, she got a 380 semi-automatic handgun from her home and fired several
shots into Mr Bettner’s home. One of the bullets flew into Mr Bettner’s
bedroom, where he was hit by flying glass. The man told the police that Mrs Staudinger,
a widow, had expressed a fondness for
him since he moved to the neighbourhood six months earlier.
I told her
I am in a relationship, Mr Bettner said. She had this idea I am suppose to be
her man. Mrs Stauginder was charged with aggravated assault and shooting into
an occupied dwelling.
Oh what a
world of loneliness .Is there a cure for lonliness? The truth is that there are
seasons when everyone goes through a loneliness school. But the cure for
loneliness is not a kiss or a gun. It is not even marriage because someday,
everyone will be a widow or widower.
Someone
said: if you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry. I believe that only God
can fill the vaccum of lonliness, not any man or woman. Sometimes marriage is
like a hot bath. Once you get used to it, it is not so hot. So, set your focus
on the healer of the broken hearted.
