The Terrible Perrils of the Dreadful Lottery

"What is indifference? Etymologycally, the word means "no difference" -a strange and unatural state in which the lines blur between light and darkness, dusk and dawn, crime and punishment, cruelty and compassion, good and evil." Everyday customary people can get into abhorrent situations in their life. Your neighbor can walk out the door of their house, with their wife and children inisde, to go murder people everyday. But you nor your neighbor and his family wouldn't think anything of it. It is just their way of life and you are accustomed to it. In the Lottery these joyus people stone someone every year and continue on with their day as if nothing happened. "[The men] stood together... and their jokes were quietand they smiled rather than laughed.. [The women] greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by your husbands, begqan to call their children. These people grow up being taught that these are the ways of life and this is what's right. If you grew.
