once again the kid is in front of the liquor store asking for change...by kid i mean he is in his early twenties...seems strong enough to work, smokes cigarettes.....and i no longer give anything to him....for at this point i understand it is not a case of someone down on their luck, so low, that they need to beg....it would seem in this case a career choice...and doing simple math, with Canadian dollar and two dollar coins being the currency, and between maybe 1000-2000 people passing through the doors every day, if only 50% of the people responded with a Loonie....he's making 500 a day....double than what i make...hmmm...maybe it is time for a career choice.
There is another man, who brings his children with him, to the exit door of the local church. He stands with a sign asking for help, with his children by his side and makes it awkward, and conscience searching for the Christians who lower there gazes from him where they just learned to give to all who ask and to clothe the poor, feed the hungry, give shelter to the homeless.....
