robber in the dark

This artwork is made with UV color, so it glows in the dark when it is charged up by light. With direct sunlight on the painting the colors shine very bright and in different colors in the dark. It's very scary and not a public theme to talk about the criminals in this world, but i do, because i was a criminal by the ones who supported me with drugs and i was a victim very much as well. I know it's not a logical theme to talk about on this platform, but actually it's very much one. I understand both sides of the problem but we can not ignore the fact that most criminals ar because of some kind of mental health problem. They're causing very much trouble for the gouvernement and the hard working citizens of course. But don't forget that they started the same as you did or almost, then the sur constance's changed and they slowly slide into this vicious circle and don't know how to get out. If the drugs where legalized like alcohol is, the gouvernement would give them to the addicteds and there's no more criminality coming from the junkies who have to do all that illegal stuff to get their shot or smoke. Do it all over the world like in Switzerland where they have teir spaces and substitution from the doctors and they can live a normal life. It's as simple as that, i made it out of it after 30years of drug and alcohol abuse, with the help of family and doctors. I never wanted to be a criminal or a theft or a poor individual in the streets of this damn city i hate so much today. Have the intelligence to see the problem from the other side of life and there's a solution for everything in this time of the century. It's people like you and me, your neighborhood is full of them and you don't even know. They need some talk, food and a helping no judging person who helps them out of this hell. I think these people are too much forgotten about and letting be on their own for too long. It can happen to any of us very quickly to be on the other side, never forget that. I had everything in life a kid could wish for except extra time and love from my parents, then i started doing drugs with older kids i hung around with, to be one of them. That's it no more and my life was really messed up for good. Today i wish that i only never was left alone so young and so long. Then i would probably be a doctor or an interior designer, with a nice career and a big house. Shows that a robber is just a human like one of us, with all the same kind of problems. Through my addiction i was a criminal as well and i hated it. Plus my anxiety and my ADHD made it not easier for me to do ilegally stuff to pay for drugs and alcohol. This is a reminder that the way is mostly the same, butt the way out isn't at all. Legalize drugs and give them support with a chance in the job market. See these people as poor individuals who have very bad habits and no control over theyr lifes. Without a helping hand the way out of addiction is impossible. We are all in this together, don't forget about that. And only God can judge us, no human being can judge, but we do it all the time like it's normal to do that. Who are we to think we can do this to other people?
