I recently read an article written by a woman that deals with older people who are in their finals weeks of life, due to a terminal illness. She gave a list of the top 10 regrets people have, and it was meant to inspire people today to live well so they don't end up with these common regrets. One of the regrets was that people wish they would have done/worn/liked what they wanted, not what their friends or a majority of people wanted. This someone reminded me of the grandma, who lived her life trying to be and act a certain way. In the end, she ended up being a hypocrite. When she got in the car, she had to look her best. At least for me, when I go on a road trip I don’t exactly care what I look like. I just want to be comfortable. When she realized she was wrong about the road they were going down, she wanted to save the embarrassment and decided to not say anything. It ended up costing her life, and the life of her family. I found it odd that she didn’t even care when her son and grandson were being sent into the forest. After shots were fired, she just continued to beg for her own life. To me, she seemed very selfish in the story. This story was interesting to me, especially when the killer was talking about his view of life, and how he didn’t want to be hypocritical like the grandma. While I don’t see eye to eye with serial killers, I did find that part very intriguing.
