“Just because that student dresses nicer and appears cleaner, everyone believes him instead of me... Simply because it’s me, everything has to be exaggerated, and they drag me to the flagpole so everyone can see. Even though I’m quiet, they still find ways to mock and insult me to vent their frustrations... Compared to the damage Gideon has done, these things are minor and don’t bother me at all,” Joshua remarked with detachment.
Jim asked. “If it doesn’t matter, why bring it up?”
Joshua lapsed into a momentary silence, then continued, “When my mother refused to buy him alcohol. he tried to kill her with a knife. Instead, the blade struck me. At that point, although I was only seven years old, I was ready to be arrested and face execution, yet I wasn’t scared.”
Joshua detailed the hardships and abuse he endured throughout his life, such as domestic violence, school bullying, and societal dangers. He’d seen the worst of humanity from all sides.
Jim remained attentive in silence.
