I am not homeless. I live a comfortable life due to no intrinsic self worth but simply because of the generosity of the One who permeates All that is. My having a roof over my head, and having been able to pay for my son's college education, does not make me any more of a responsible citizen than the homeless people at your shelter. They come to you for help. What purpose does it serve for you to judge them or the choices they made in this life?
I tell people all the time that Money Ain't Real. We live in a capitalist society which seeks to convince those who have a few more things that their things are a sign of responsibility and self-worth. This is why so many people who can barely keep their lights on will go out and buy a big expensive gas guzzling tank of a truck and treat it like a close family member. We are a brainwashed citizenry - in many ways not much better than Pavlov's dogs.
I respect the woman you singled out as having made bad choices because she _saw_ thru the lie and chose not to be a part of it.
The fractional banking system, fiat currency, and the entire capitalist way of live is built on lies and deceit. The best liars and deceivers bubble up to the top of the steaming pile of human excrement we call western civilization.
