Everyone has a sob story.
Honestly, if you can find a person who cares, you're lucky. Or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it.
I'm writing this blog because I'm sick of the "emo" and helpless, hopeless people that feel the need to cry and cry about things that they can control.
If you feel like there's no point to life, why live?
If you feel like you don't have a right to have what you want, why go on?
If you don't care about yourself, why should I?
If you don't want to do anything but feed off of the rest of us, emotionally and physically, then why the HELL should I care about what happens to you?
People like I've just described are hopeless. You can neither change their mindset nor "help" them. Helping others without first having them deserve your help destroys them and yourself. They learn only that you will save them from the inconvenience of living. Living is earning (not just money, but money is one symbol of what you have earned). Get over it. These people suck the life out of the rest of us, causing some to question the purpose in living. They are theives in the sense that they take without earning. The sad thing is, they believe they DESERVE what they haven't earned. They believe that we owe them something because they are unhappy or "need" it. We don't owe them anything, but pity. If you don't feel like you have a purpose, you probably won't try to do anything productive. If you don't do anything productive, why do you have the right to eat our food, breathe our air, or waste our precious time?
Life is what it is. You can't control how you come into this world, but you can control how you leave it. This world is all we have. This life is all we have. If you can't find your purpose in it, don't make the rest of us suffer. If you can't appreciate the greatest gift we have, life, then don't live.
The thing is, they want to live or they wouldn't be "living." If you can call their lifestyle living. They just want you to feel sorry for them so they can take what you've earned. But they want you to give it to them willingly, so their conscience will be free. It being whatever they want... money, food, time, shelter, etc.
Everyone has problems. We can't help each other; we can only help ourselves. Keep trying to help them if you want to. But don't take my tax dollars to do it. That would make you a thief too.

You sound angry. I admire you for writing things that have always been the back of my mind but never have the courage to say out loud because I was afraid I might hurt someone. But maybe you're being a little bit too harsh because you're letting too much emotions get to you. We all need some sort of support from somewhere. Those people who post like that probably lack resources to deal with their situations. OR maybe they're trying to waste space for the points. If you see something like it, just ignore it. Saying negative comments won't do any good. You'd never know what will happen. Some people take negative comments seriously and would probably kill themselves over it. I was afraid of hurting someone too bad that I kill them indirectly instead. Anyway, take care. Peace.
I'm angry because this life is all we have, and some people don't appreciate it. I'm tired of hearing complaints and empty threats instead of seeing initiative. I'm tired of feeling sorry for people.
I wouldn't want to indirectly kill someone either. I don't believe that I could anyway. I do NOT take responsibility for other people's actions. Ever.
i think that when you say that those people who steal our money, food, time, and shelter, you're not talking about emos, you're talking about those are less fortunate maybe the homeless. i think that everyone is entitled to live however they want and if they just happen to make others 'suffer' too, it's not their fault that there are others who are full of compassion, willing to help. believe me, those who recieve help, do mentally progress.
You caught on. I WAS talking about emos at first, but I realized that all of these moochers are the same. I sound angrier than I am. But, that's honestly how I feel.
CASE IN POINT! The other day two of my friends and I were at Wal-Mart, and this guy came up to us asking for money so he could get to the next town. I am not an altruist, so I stayed out of it. They gave him some change (they didn't have much money), and he went on to the next car. My friend was curious about whether he was telling the truth (and he wanted to prove me wrong... he thinks I'm too cynical) so we followed him after he got his money from some other victim. He didn't get gas. He went to a cheap hotel known for selling drugs. So what did we help except his drug habit? What does helping the needy do except "save them from the inconvenience of living"?
If you know that you're making an investment in someone that has the ability or the interest in improving, I see no problem in assisting them. However, if you just want to "help" random people that make a living off of mooching, do it with your own money. Don't waste mine.
I'd be so angry to know that I'd helped someone's drug habit even if it was just a little bit of change. Even more than that, I hate being lied to and taken advantage of. Some guy came up to me at school the other day saying he needed money for gas and I told him I really couldn't afford it, and I was at risk for being kicked out of my mom's house because she's plain and simple running out of money. He still didn't relent, and I gave him two bucks and he kept asking if I had twently. At that point, I really wanted my two bucks back. Anyway, I kind of went on a tangent there, but he probably didn't need gas money at all. I'm glad I didn't give him 20 bucks. I hate moochers, I'm struggling enough myself without everyone else trying to take my personal pittance.
Amen sister.
same and what you might think is acting a certain way, they might be doing unintentionally, and i am not talking about the certain speciiflc people who are drug addicts or people who want the rest of the world to take cxare and stop for them
no, i just don't think we should assume and categorize people-
i don't know, i have to say, when i first read this, it just felt like you were writing this for those who have needed a helping hand in the world ( i idd at one point) so i felt offended
sometimes people get put in positions that they themselves are not able to get out of, ALoNE
"Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right."
I think you are misunderstanding what I was trying to say. I'm not saying that we shouldn't help those that want to be helped. I'm saying that we shouldn't waste our time on people that don't want to progress or do anything productive. People that want to feed off of the rest of us are not trying to be helped. They want to continue living in their paradise of not having to do anything and having their basic needs met through efforts of other people.
Who wants to be helped and who needs to be helped? Honestly how can you tell if someone wants to progress with life or anything?
Who am I? I am a thinking, breathing human being. That is what gives me a right to an opinion. If you disagree with my logic, join the club. Why ask who I am? Any human being should have a right to speak their minds without being responded to with "who are you to think? Who are you to decide?"... THAT reasoning will not "progress" anyone.
Any hoo... :D... I can tell if someone wants to progress the same way that you can... by the evidence that they've shown, proving they want to.
Ok well what is going to be good evidence? It is kind of like credit...Someone has one bad mess up and it screws up all of the chances possible. This really is not a good way to "progress"
*sigh*.
"Good evidence" is seeing someone who is truly trying to accomplish whatever it is they want to accomplish, and knowing that (though they may be discouraged) they haven't given up on life. Everyone gets discouraged. It's the people who feel like they are the only ones going through their hardship and want to rest of us to take pity on them or "give" them what they "need" without them having to earn our help that I'm talking about. I have no problems making an investment in someone that is capable and willing to progress. I have a problem "helping" people that don't want to do anything but suck the resources out of those of us who work for what we have.
