Rudolf lived in a southern town in Texas. Though he lived with his mother most of his life, she never payed much attention to him and always passed the time with her friends. As the years passed, Rudolf started acting like a misogynist person. One day when he was 21 years old, he decided to release some of his anger by blowing up a mall with a pernicious C-4 compact bomb. While trying to leave the scene, he was caught by police patrols and locked in jail. He sat in a corner and dozed off. In his dream, hes mother appeared.
Mom- Rudolf, what have you done?!
Rudolf- I did what i had to do, mom.
M- What are you talking about?! You murdered a lot of people. What could have possibly been your reason?!
R- I just wanted to get your attention. Every time I needed you, you preferred going shopping with your friends.
M- That doesn't justify your actions. What you did was very detrimental to both the people inside the mall and their family.
R- Stop blaming me! If you had shown some affection towards me, I wouldn't have done this.
M- Rudolf, wake up! You are already 21 years old. Take responsibility for your actions. Wake up!
Cop 1: Wake up Rudolf. Wake up!
R- Huh? What? Where? What do you want?
Cop 1: We received a call from the hospital, your mom was in the mall during the explosion.
R- But she told me she went home to take a nap.
Cop 2: Sir, we just received another call from the hospital. Rudolf's mom was badly injured.
R- How badly?!
Cop 2: She was able to evade the primary blast, but she took fervent burns to the body and falling debris paralyzed her.
R- Will she be alright?
Cop 2: They called to inform that she passed away a few minutes ago.
Cop 1: Rudolf, you murdered your mother.
R- Nooo! Why? Why was I such an idiot!
*During our life, we encounter many situations that provoke certain feelings, feelings that we must keep in constant check and control so that we do not act irrationally. Though Rudolf's case was an extreme one, there are in fact people around the world who do not have the ability to control their emotions, and indeed sometimes go to extreme methods of releasing them hoping that those negative feelings will fade away. After they have acted irrationally, they must deal with the consequences, and in the end they feel sorry for acting in such an inappropriate way.
