I want to give them money but since my childhood my parents pretty much told me that they are all either faking it or are too lazy to go to work for money. I mean, I guess they can go to work but not everyone gets accepted to work as easy as it sounds like.

    Yeah, I think there’s something there.

    It feels worse to acknowledge a suffering sector of humanity than to ignore it.

    But, it feels worse to be ignored when suffering than it does to feel seen when suffering.

    You’re choosing to feel uncomfortable so they can feel a bit more comfortable. And you do so knowing that by and large, you can afford the discomfort more than they can.
