Good for them. I approve. Don't hesitate, food is a human right.
I'm not judging, just telling it how it is.
Of course. I'm just really tired this week of walking past the unhoused people encampments this week in -18 weather and wondering why this is the way it is.
The unfortunate truth is that it is the way that it is because the majority benefits from it being that way.
Your rent might be expensive but how would you like to spend twice as much in order to ensure that some guy out on the street (who's likely a good-for-nothing drunk and a degenerate, let's be honest) has a roof over his head in this kind of weather? How do you know just what kind of evils they've done in the past in order to make it for as long as they did? How do you know you're not going to wake up with a knife at your throat if you decide to take them in?
Both you and I, along with damn near every human being out there, are nothing but liars, murderers, and thieves. We don't like to confront that fact but it's true nonetheless. If you got a warm place to sleep tonight, you really just happened to either be lucky or more cold blooded than they other guy, but your luck might turn at any time, or someone more ruthless than you might come along and displace you.
At the end of the day, all you can really do is pray for mercy, and do your best to offer the same as much as you possibly can. Your life could be over in a second, so don't take even a minute of it for granted.
