This is my rant.
If you don’t want to hear someone ranting, please, go ahead and go look somewhere else.
But if you want to hear me rant, by all means, please stay.
I have gotten into an argument with someone who had accused me of being offensive and immature.
I would say that this person have no ideas what it is like to go through every day life, knowing you cannot do much.
Panhandlers are here for a reason; they are here because they need the money.
Not all panhandlers are begging money for drugs or for alcohol. Some are begging money for food. What the heck is wrong with that?
Not everyone have the fortune to be able to find a job that will provide them with enough money for basic needs. That is why we now have these levels: First Class, Middle Class, Poor, and Below the Poverty Level.
This person chose to argue with someone who is below the poverty level. That would be me and no, I am not asking for pity.
All I am asking is for some understanding of what some of us have to go through.
It is okay to be scared when a panhandler comes up to you, asking for spare changes. But it is not okay to make an assumption based on the panhandler’s appearance.
The person thinks that I am offensive. Well, I think that this person is offensive as well.
We are NOT in 1960’s any more. We do not say “Peace.” to the other people. We now just say bye or ciao when we are leaving.
You want understanding? Then go google “disabilities”, “mental illnesses” and “below poverty level”. Maybe then you’d be able to understand some more about what we go through.
That is my story and yes, I am sticking to it.
