People just ignore the less fortunate and go about their business. No one cares about the poor/dying people in the world, instead everyone just cares about their next mobile phone, or when they are going out next. When did society become so selfish? No one even has time to spare a few coins for the beggar on the street. Everyone is pessimistic towards homeless people, e.g. "oh he/she's probably going to end up buying drugs with the money" or "he/she isn't really homeless, they just have that dog there to make you feel guilty for them" etc.
It makes me sad that people think like this these days, even my own friends don't spare even 50p or £1 for a beggar, it's sickening. Even if I have a couple pound, I'll always try and help out with a little change that I have. What is money to people who are earning it every week? Oh and another thing people say (and in case any of you say it) is "why should I hand over my hard earned money, they should go get a job themselves" and that just makes me angry because people don't know their situation, but people criticise them for asking for a little help.
I hope put all my hard work into making a good fortune to be able to help out these people in a few years time. It just saddens me to see the homeless, dying, and malnourished in Europe, North/South America and Africa. I really hope people can wake up and realise their lives are amazing compared to these poor people. One more example of societies selfishness is a programme I was watching the other night, where these people were looking through bin bags outside of a food store and found 2 bin bags full up with brand new, still packaged food that was going to be thrown away. What about giving that food to the homeless beggars on street? Oh no! shop owners, management, councils (whoever is in charge) doesn't ever think of that!!
Anyway, what do you think of our society or/and attitude towards the less fortunate? Does it make you sad?
