What is love? what does it mean to rely on somebody besides yourself? what does it mean to sacrifice for another's sake? The one thing that has perplexed me about the grand country that is the "United" States is that the lines of separation are STILL bleeding away our magnificence into dust. To heal such wounds will require us to relinquish our selfishness and embrace benevolence.

Just the other day I saw what appeared to be a homeless man on the corner of a stop light begging others for money. With his sign held waist high, wearing a red plaid shirt, and a dirty baseball cap blocking the sun's bright rays, I felt compassion towards him. heck I even got a sandwich for him but returning to the sight where he begged, I lost him. Almost every time i drive by that corner I usually see around half a dozen people begging for the essentials. But I also see people in their cars stopped next to a beggar focusing on the road ahead and not dare look back at them. How can somebody do thusat? How can you just watch a human being sit there begging for the essentials and not do anything about it. I'm sure if that was a poor puppy on wondering the streets someone is bound to help it out. I've even seen animals help their kind in times of need! Does this beggar not breath like you? Did that person not have similar aspirations as you when you where a kid, enjoy music, live for the good things in life? Just imagine if you where in their position! Yet we call ourselves Earth's caretakers but can't even take care of our fellow man. So if you see someone begging for money, food, or water, just give it to them in surplus because if you can already provide for yourself why not help another in need. What we need is love.
Another thing that really bothers me is when we characterize and capitalize people for making bad decisions. Just keep in mind that they are still human and should be treated as human and not euthanized for their actions. They still deserve a second chance.
