At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.”
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life.
During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home.
A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
“Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”
Most of you know that my brother died in a motorcycle wreck the day after Christmas. Billy Bob hits the nail on the head right here. I wish I could shake his hand.
If science class explained everything with Midwest emo music, we would have a lot more people paying attention.
Nuclear power explained.
It’s just a fancy way to heat water and make electricity.

@amuse Your leaving out a BIG part of the story:
He was sentenced to a maximum of five years of probation after prosecutors admitted they DID NOT have strong enough evidence to go to trial.
This isn’t a left/right issue it was a result of evidence, policy, & sentencing limitations.
