Sunglasses on the ground
I was walking my dog in the park today and I notice some sunglasses on the ground, they look like they might be pretty nice, and nobody is around that might be the owner. So I am thinking about whether or not I want to take these sunglasses, but I think I probably shouldn't because it would be bad karma and the owner might come back soon when he realizes he lost his sunglasses at the park.
This was around 3:00 and I was right across the street from Hoboken High so I see some black kids getting out of school and walking across the park. I know that if I don't take the glasses that these kids will. But I was paralyzed, and for some reason I didn't take them. The kids walk past, look at the glasses, look around for a second to see who is nearby, and then one of them picks them up and wears them home. This isn't a morality post to see if I should have taken them, because obviously I should have. I am mostly mad at myself because I could have a new pair of sunglasses right now, but some kid has them instead.
