Bucket list goals

Today, I had to explain to my friend that being arrested isn't something a decent person should have on their bucket list. I had to explain this while bailing her out of jail. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Having a reckless friend can be exhausting, it's like having to take care of a child, except you can't discipline them.

You shouldn't have bailed her out!

You can only learn from your mistakes...

Everyone should be arrested at least once. It's an informative experience; a little humbling and not as bad as most people think. And you usually meet some interesting people in jail. OP, good on your friend. Just make sure to read some "know your rights" literature ahead of time (the ACLU or Midnight Special law collective puts out some good literature on this).

Decent people are the ones who would have to plan getting arrested.

False. Decent people don't make plans to get arrested. Planning on getting arrested is evidence of someone who is stupid and not a decent person.

Civil disobedience, anybody? I wouldn't classify Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, or Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as "stupid" or "not decent people". They and their followers broke the laws they were protesting against and were willing to get arrested and go to jail for it. That said, OP's friend probably got arrested for doing something that was stupid and/or a public nuisance. Very few people are that high-minded these days.

It's also possible to be stupid, get in trouble, and then learn from it and become a decent person.

Maybe she's old school and says, "Carpe Diem" or "Live fast, die young" or "Que sera sera" or "Whatever I do what I want."
