Is It Wrong

Tagged:

Is it wrong that when I drive down the street and pull up to the red light and lock my doors, and windows. Not because of my personal safty but because there is a man with everything he owns standing there with a sign reading..." WIll work for FOOD".." please help me" or a sign that say "spare change." I don't do it to be mean or ugly, but i worry that one day that person might try to get into my car. Does it make anyone a bad person because they look the other way? But for thoes do hold that dollar out the window or give them food i think thats great and it only makes you a better person. But how do you know who really needs it and who is just out there and goes home to a four bedroom house with a fully cooked meal? How can you tell? I often wounder how many people stop and acknowledge them, give them the time of day, or even ask if there feeling ok today. Sometimes i personaly don't understand why the don't have a job. Mcdonalds is always hiering and i understand that some people are in just a bad situation that isn't controlable, but it amazes me how we as Americans give up on life so easy.

Many employers require an permanent address. If you're homeless, what then?

Maybe you don’t look like anyone that lives in the street!

Looks are important, so always clean your shoes when everything above is supposed to impress!
