Not Always Rainbows and Butterflies

Respect is so important in our society, yet some people lack respect. For an example, I am going to use a personal life situation. My dad left my family when I was young. He moved to Minnesota and got into some bad trouble. It started with painkillers, over the years it got way worse. My dad has messed up so much and has let me down so many times. He never calls me or sends anything, not even on my birthday. My mom does not have any respect for him, she asks me why do I care about him so much and all he does is let me down. I don’t care what my dad has done or that he left, when I get the chance to see him I am so happy, I show him that I haven’t given up on him.

    Homeless people are viewed as the rats and inferior people in society; often ignored and looked down upon, homeless people have the deficit of not being able to have many of the comforts in life that we may have. This is not only hurting our society morally, but it also helps us economically since there are people that aren’t buying/selling things or working. This is a major issue, since in the meanwhile, we as a society are throwing away things that still have worth or can be used. This is elaborately described in Eighner’s essay “On Dumpster Diving,” where he narrates his life of homelessness, detailing the struggling and analytical life of homelessness.

    There’s reasoning behind that bold statement too. The reason why it’s not ideal to hand homeless people money is because you never know what that person is going to spend it on. They might have a sign saying that they are hungry and need money for food, clothing, or some other necessity but just because they say that on their sign doesn’t mean that’s what they actually want the money for.

Yes, some do drugs, but most homeless individuals who use drugs started using them after they have lost their home.
