One year ago, John Robinson was shot in an attempted robbery. Today, he reflects on the experience and how it has changed his life.
Robinson was walking home from work when a man approached him and demanded his wallet. He refused and the man pulled out a gun and fired. Robinson was shot in the shoulder and the man ran away.
The experience was traumatic for Robinson. He had to go through surgery and months of physical therapy to recover from his injury. But it was the emotional impact that really changed his life.
Robinson says he now has a greater appreciation for life. He has a newfound respect for the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. He also has a newfound understanding of the power of forgiveness. He says he has forgiven the man who shot him, as it was an act of desperation and not malice.
The experience has also made Robinson more aware of his surroundings. He is now more vigilant when walking around at night and pays more attention to his safety. He also carries pepper spray with him at all times, just in case.
Robinson says that while the experience was traumatic, it has ultimately made him a better person. He is now more appreciative of life and more aware of his safety. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can help others learn from his experience and stay safe in their own lives.
