Well, I know i like you already
So true, what you have said, I couldn't agree more.
It seems to be that people are too distracted chasing profit
in the most efficient way for immediate results without thinking
through the long term implications, like nations of junkies, lying,
cheating, stealing to get what they need in the immediate now,
and like junkies they need support, forgiveness and a hand up to
recover from this self destructive soul breaking lifestyle.
"give me convenience or give me death"
We are so busy exhausting ourselves chasing a better life, a more
comfortable existence, an easier way to do everything that we are
starting to forget about those who truly need the smallest comforts.
It seems we would rather sweep health care, social services any
system that exhausts money rather than return a profit out of sight
and demonise those who are wasting that precious profit on life
saving resources, I mean how are we going to buy a shinier car if these
people keep wasting our money on surviving.
I know a women who was prosecuted for eating one grape at a grocery
store, a man prosecuted for stealing a can of baked beans, too many
people to mention whose chance at a better life was destroyed by
having a criminal record for things they needed help with, some of
the most ethical people i have ever known have been imprisoned for
drug possession. We see some celebrity suffering from addiction and
think "oh i really hope they get some help, you know it must be difficult
in their situation" etc.. but discard those who can't afford privatised care
to jail without a second thought.
People who steal amounts of money that just beggar belief get sent to
golf resorts to serve their time. Some of the most corrupt, unethical
crooks in history continue to thrive and revel in their ill deserved lifestyle
and we clap and cheer when they kiss a baby, we shouldn't let our babies
anywhere near some of these people.
What happens when a countries economy depends upon luxury goods?
