Compassion

I am so sick of hearing people talk shit about homeless people who stand on the side of the road begging for money. I mean c'mon people they are STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THey are ingesting who knows what all chemicals, it's cold and raining on them and they are out there ALL DAY. This is not a glamourous life we're talking about here. But some people focus on that. That somehow this is an easy life and that they are lazy to stand on the side of the road. THis smacks of some kind of weird jealousy. Like the homeless person is getting away with something that they wish themselves could get away with.

I'm here to tell you that this is not money for nothing. THis is not laziness. This is not fun. This is a result of non-compassion. We put that homeless person there. You and me. We corroborate with the White supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy that espouses domination and oppression to make the system work. Homeless is part of that system. We are part of that system. Do the math.
