RE: What About Little John? Part One

in #story6 years ago

There is no doubt that every day there are more people who go into poverty, but particularly I think that people who live in the street or places, it is always because they have some kind of addiction, these addictions cause the same family and friends to deny them, just a few days ago I saw a video of the life of a Venezuelan who was a manager of a major company in the country, and he ended up living on the street and under bridges in Colombia, what led him to that was drugs, with this I do not want to say that they do not deserve help, the same is necessary to help them in whatever they can, but I think the most important thing is to try to re-enter them into society, look forward to the second part of the story

It is true that people choose drugs as an escape instead of facing their problems and pushing for resolution. Drugs often lead to addiction and life on a park bench. I have no problem giving to those who are hungry. I hope that they choose food over cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs. If someone is obviously on drugs or drunk, I take a few minutes out of my day and invite them to eat at the nearest restaurant. They can sit, eat, drink and be satisfied. The restaurant owners do not care for this idea but it makes no difference to me.
