And while we're on the subject of victories

I just read an article about how George Zimmerman's wife has just filed for divorce. This comes on the heels of her own misdemeanor conviction for presenting false evidence of their income at his arraignment.

Ok kids, pay attention now, because there actually is a lesson in this.

Zimmerman "won" his case. He prevailed. He beat the system and convinced a jury that he wasn't responsible for the stupid, tragic, mess that he didn't have to make if he'd just walked away, driven away, driven by. But he made a choice.

He stood his ground and "won"- twice.

And now, he's discovering that even victory has a price.

Was it better for him to win?

See, this is what I'm talking about with the whole gun thing and why I don't think that the answer to our society's problems is to be better armed. In the end, yes, you may "win", you may "prevail". You can stand your ground, and Right will surely be on your side. Right now, staring at a life that's arguably NOT better than what he had before he pulled that stupid trigger, can Zimmerman honestly say that it was worth it to stand his ground and "win"? He could have walked away, driven away, or even driven by Martin, and done nothing. How hard could it have been to do nothing?

Was winning, winning twice- worth it?

What's it worth, to win?
