A situation tonight spawned this post:
A common myth is that homeless persons are a bunch of lying individuals
who have no morals whatsoever. I hope this helps break that myth.
In actuality, homeless persons may pass an occasional
bullshit story; even stretch the truth at times to an incredible level that
only a man on the moon would understand. Basically, this is out of boredom and
the need for making a good afternoon out of the same old day to day stuff that
is required to survive.
Let’s take a look at the “common” person for a switch. How
many ‘white lies’ does it take for it to become unjustified?
Here’s a few: Not answering the phone, (screening calls via
answering machine or caller ID); Making cheap excuses for not attending that
party or luncheon; how about avoiding a situation altogether just because you
didn’t really want to see a particular person? What about the times you didn’t
answer the door because your favorite show was playing or you were just too damn
lazy?
Of the many homeless persons I have met,
the word ‘welcome’ means welcome.
Makes a person think now doesn’t it?
