Today I understood why some people go crazy when they have
debts, why they decide to leave and never be seen again, why women sell themselves
for money, why people steal…etc. I can go on but there’s too many ways to make
money that people consider immoral. But I learned that unless you’re in that
situation, you cannot judge.
But a woman can choose to go to school or find a job; she
doesn’t need to sell/prostitute/strip dance for money! You might say. Well, it
sounds easy doesn’t it? Consider this…school is expensive. Government hardly
helps people with low incomes because they “make too much”. By too much I mean
a person making $20,000 a year is making too much. They don’t consider rent,
food, transportation or anything that needs to be bought with the $17,000 after
taxes that a person receives. So how can a woman pay over $2000 in tuition
(considering that she applies to community college) and still be able to eat?
Impossible. Yes! Impossible unless you’ve been through it, don’t judge.
If finding a job was as easy as people’s words make it seem,
there would be no unemployment percentage in the United States. I am a graduate
individual with much work experience, yet I’ve sent out so many resumes and no
one has yet to call. Why? Because out of the hundreds of job applications that
an employer receives, they can only choose one. Job hunting sort of like
playing the lottery but with better luck. But in the meantime, your bills are
due and you need to pay them. So what do you do?
Exactly. Nothing but stay stressed.
This is why I decided that I will not be judging individuals
anymore based on the type of way that they receive their money. No stealing
though. That’s like desperate measures but taking things from others is not a
good idea to move forward with life. Just wanted to share that :)
