Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself... |
|
|
As a young man from Homewood who loves Pittsburgh, I was very excited about the U.S Open at Oakmont; All these famous people and such a spectacular event less than ten miles from where I grew up. Once I sat down to watch the Open on TV, the opulent and panoramic setting seemed a million miles away not ten miles away from my reality. I could not believe that less than seven minutes from the Open in the Lincoln-Larimer section of Pittsburgh is where five children lost their lives a few days earlier by fire. Less than ten miles and seven minutes away is the murder capital not only in the state but the nation per capita population (Homewood). People can do what they want with their money. You can't make people care. People can always find a reason not to care and to look away. Somehow I just wasn't so proud as I would have liked to be as a neighbor. Where is the love even though Oakmont is less than seven minutes and ten miles away?
