Thoughts Post your little thoughts.

The other day I walked nearby a passage of the central station that is a gathering point for addicts.

There are some people who mentally and physically destroyed, all ages, genders, races and I'm going to guess here: backgrounds. And it just brings me to rage that there are people (aka dealers) who make money from their misery and pain. Who push them further into their abyss. For what? A couple of bucks more?

Same goes for pimps. How can a man make a living from tne suffering of others? How does / what makes such a person wake up in the morning? What steps in their lifes made them at some point say they were ok by living from the suffering of others?

I am not going to turn this into a political discussion and very obviously capitalism coupled with greed is a bad thing, it feels too often that it is always the same who take advantage of it.

But capitalism is also a fantastic motor that drives innovation, that brought bilions of people out of poverty. Whereas the target of dealers/pimps is to keep their victims in a state of misery and dependence.

You just turned it into one. :)

People need empathy, compassion and understanding for all people. Without those 3 things some will always be marginalized, taken advantage of and used, no matter the economic system.
Merely my opinion of course I'm well used to being told otherwise, but am always willing to listen.
I'm not perfect by any means, I think tons of people are idiots, without knowing much about them or their experiences. I try to be a better person every day, but I do understand I'll never be a flawless example.

Try explaining it to a child ... my concept of death as a child was intriguing and I asked my Mum sooo many questions that we sat and had a cry together and it was hard for me to understand when she told me "All good things must come to an end" ... I remember thinking "WHY???" And how cruel it is :/ but the optomist in me understands the importance of loving big, making life count and experiencing as much joy and wonder as humanly possible before our short time expires!!

I asked my dad once and his reply was "Everyone has their part to play in life, some big parts, some small"

You have a fantastic view on it. Thanks for sharing ;)

Lost the parlay by one game. Damn Jets. But won the straight bet. I really really should just stick to betting on a single game. I would be 3-1 for the day, instead of breaking even.
