So today I was having lunch with some of my co-workers, and one of the guys in my office said in a random conversation that he feels worse for cats and dogs that are in animal shelters than he does for homeless people.
He then went on to ask rhetorically- "How badly must someone have screwed up in life to end up homeless?!" I was taken aback by the sweeping generalization and sheer ignorance of the statement.
This is the world we live in. Scruffy the dog has a better chance at finding a home full of love than the guy outside the 711 by my office.
Priority shift, anyone?
Proverbs 14:20- “The poor is hated even of his own neighbor: but the rich hath many friends.”
