I was just talking with a friend the other day, about some really bad things that I've been seeing lately. I don't mean for me, but I mean in general. In general, I've been seeing more and more homeless people, and beggars, and elderly people looking sad. It's starting to really put me down, because I know that some of those people are some of the most nicest and sincere people you can meet, and they just don't get what they deserve.
What's shocking to me, is that my friend, whom I'll not name, because people will jump on him, is that he believes that it isn't his problem, and that he doesn't care. I tried explaining how I thought to him, and that to care about other people who aren't of any influence in your life, is to be human. You can't just go around not caring about all the dying or sad people with no food and no homes, and he responded, fine, I'll give a dollar or something.
I promptly responded with, I'm not asking for you to give your money to them, I'm asking sympathy from you, for all of these people. I don't think he understands much of that, but that is what makes a person human. Human in the way that, you care for another being, even if he's not related to you. What type of person are you if you don't care about someone who's dying?
Anyway, it just saddens me that all of this is true, and I would do so much if I could, but I can't. One day, if I have more money and more time, I want to stretch my arms out, and empty my pockets for these people who don't deserve any of this. One of them was my mother, she lived horribly as a starving artist, and I don't think any one person should ever be living like that, they don't deserve it, everyone needs some help.
Those are my thoughts, if you have any opinion on anything, be sure to comment. I don't want to open debates though.
