Well, if you think materialistic achievement will cure you of your boredom then go for it. Collecting syringes has got to top the list of the most tedious, meaningless and anal things one can do. It's no surprise no one is interested.
You can't top family and friends. I raised six children and I didn't waste my time on myself. Or my money. I invested all in my family. Had some losses, but mostly it paid big dividends, and it is anything but boring.
You can keep your trinkets, bobbles and the lint in your pocket if you want. I hope they keep you good company.
Of course, there may be circumstances beyond your control that causes you to find pleasure in pondering your "collectibles", and I don't want to appear insensitive to that, so I apologize for any perceived offense in advance.
sure, sure.

So I'll be honest. I think you're afraid of the truth. You should be. I know I am. But I can't wait to face that light. In full. All the darkness will be vanished. Only the truth will remain.
Or, we can just keep picking at each other.

Man, are you ever misinformed. More white men are shot by the police that black men.
And, more blacks and Hispanics are shot by black and Hispanic cops than by white cops.
You're a dupe of the media on this one old boy.
There are more white people than black people in most of America, so while "more white men are shot", it is far less by percentage. You're white, and so you cannot fathom the fear a black man feels when they see the blue lights behind them. That is called "white privilege".

I wonder how a black man considers his encounters with other black men, given the enormity of crime which occurs in black on black scenarios--- which far outstrips any encounters between him and a police officer.
