I sure am glad you never took the same course I did. You would have flunked out with that attitude. Some day you should read some of my psychology books.Yes I agree some people make poor choices in regards to money but that is human nature isn’t it?

But when in that situation it is not always easy to look at the big picture. Day to day seems to be all that is seen. And we know it takes many days to get back onto your feet.

I can’t show compassion to anybody who will spend their entire welfare check on booze and then ask strangers for change in order to get more.

I sickens me that taxes are taken out of my hard earned paycheck that ends up supporting that behavior.

Sure there are people out there that might have have been screwed over and put out into the street. But instead of resorting to blowing what you have on drugs and booze, focus on getting your life back in order.

I still stand by what I said. I’ll save my compassion for the folks that need it. Hurricane victims, flood victims, fire victims, tornado victims……ect

I have to say I agree with what your co-worker said. It is sad and it’s not always as easy as you make it sound to get the treatment needed. Very few empty spaces in this cities rehab treatment centers.
As well, not all homeless people are either drug addicts or alcoholics. Circumstances put lots of people in situations they can’t get out of. Lucky for you you have family to help you out when you get in a financial bind. Most are not so lucky.
Just a little reminder to show some compassion for your fellow man.
