Word of the day.
"The obligation of an individual or organization to account for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and to disclose the results in a transparent manner. It also includes the responsibility for money or other entrusted property."
Simple cause and effect people. It's pretty basic, and yet so foreign to those that look at money as their right to have, not something that is earned.
I cannot imagine being hungry. I am Truely very thankful for that. I even get quite grumpy if I miss lunch - hangry as they call it. So when someone asks me for food I'm definitely up to help. A few weeks ago when I decided to help a man get some dinner, when I was ordering his food he said "you know to be honest I just really need the money to get to ...(wherever)". Funny, he just told me that he was really hungry and needed money for food....
If I'm hungry I would munch on the plain croutons left over in their pouch from yesterday's lunch. I wasn't giving him that. I was getting this man whatever he wanted at this sandwich joint. Snack and drink along with it.
It makes me so sad (and yes mad) when people are dishonest in their intentions and take advantage of well meaning intentions. Yet this is the case in North America. I really don't get how to help people sometimes. There is a fine line between helping and enabling here.
Unfortunately, because of instances like these, it has made me more weary of what is given out. You cannot throw something into the air and hope the wind places it where it is intended to go....
Just feeling fed up today.
At least tomorrow is a new day ! (seriously, this blog was meant to be full of light hearted posts.... ugh)
