People

What do you think of homeless people? Of course, many people would say that it is a serious social problem, that the number of such people is increasing, especally in prosperous countries as developed economy means greater social contrasts. And this is true.But if you ask me, I think that the majority of people are homeless due to themselves, not because of the government or social programmes. Many people spare all their money on alcohol or drugs.Other people are the victims of some shady transactions.  But in this case, pactically every person has at least one friend, which could help with shelter and some money to start a new life. If you have no friends at all – think about it.Even if you have lost your documents it is not the end. Everything could happen. There is a special service which occupies with such situations.You can say: “It is easy to think so when you are sitting at home and having some money in the pocket and something to eat in the fridge!” but I can tell you that whatever happens in this life you should never give up. And even if you loose your home you should work and get it back. Weak people do not survive in this cruel world. After all, do not think that it will make your life better to beg in the streets and wait.Are you ready to live in a prosperous country?

There is a rather bold misconception that people are vastly different throughout the world and that living with people of all kinds requires some sort of miraculous break through of understanding. We are a judgmental species, and we tend to hold people that are different from us at a place of distrust and assumption. However, learning to live in the world that we embrace and living amongst all sorts of people is not as difficult as we make it. There is nothing that can be said for group assumptions other than they are most often quite inaccurate. We all have our own ideas about what is right and what is proper, but that does not mean that our ideas about these things are accurate. Living in a world of many people means recognizing that each individual person has the ability to determine what is right for them even when we might not agree with it. In general, people are basically the same. We all want the same types of things. People thrive on a feeling of value and a feeling of personal connection. People thrive in environments where they feel loved and accepted if not understood. When we are dealing with a variety of people from all different races, orientations, and backgrounds, the world is richer and purer. We can find that even people we don’t understand can offer something to the world that we can’t. Everyone has a talent and a potential to help make the world a better place for everyone. And when it comes to living in a world of people of such diversity, we are all better off for developing acceptance and tolerance.

As a rule, people want to look better than they are in reality. This refers to
both their appearance and moral make-up. In order to improve their appearance people use make-up. In order to seem more kind and compassionate people give some money to beggars. They usually do it when other people can see these acts of charity. In fact people give money to beggars only to demonstrate their kindness and goodness. So they simply show off. This is called philanthropy. As you can see, philanthropy is one of the types of hypocrisy. It is also a sort of self-advertising and self-promotion. This little help to beggars means nothing. The amount of money you give them is very small and they are enough to live this particular day. This is not a help. This is self-deception and a bargain with your conscience. You see a poor person in the street, you feel sorry for him and give him money. Thus you soothe yourself and don’t feel upset any more. You have given money to this person and have forgotten about him. His further fate doesn’t bother you. Real help is when you help poor people to get a job. Only regular work can save a person from poverty and give him hope for better life.

A man can’t live without society. This is true and nobody has managed to refute this truth successfully. I am not an exception of this rule. I am forced to live among people, have friends and communicate with my colleagues. I am so tired of them that sometimes I want to leave for a desert island. I think that this is very romantic and intriguing to live without other people, to find mutual understanding with animals and be in harmony with nature. I understand that I won’t be able to live all my life in such a way, but I want to experience life of a maroon for at least several years on end. Thus I will be able to assess my strength and understand how much I love people, because when I am among people, it seems to me that they provoke only negative feelings and impressions within me. I understand that it is bad and I must reconsider my attitude to people, and I think that a desert island would be a perfect place for that. You may wonder how I can have friends if I am so unsociable. The matter is, that my friends, not me, were the initiators of our relationship, and I know that they are not sincere, they are my friends because they want something from me and when they understand that they have received everything they want, they will leave me immediately. I have a cat and we get along with each other perfectly. It seems to me that relations between me and animals are always more successful than with other people. The more I live the more I understand that this is true.

Once I had a lot of friends. We spend much time together. Our company was very noisy and lively. Life was so nice and relaxed. We had no reasons for envy, jealousy and other bad things. Some psychologists and other people think that friendship is a very complex notion and that real friends occur very seldom. Maybe it is true, I don’t know. It is difficult to determine whether we were friends in the true sense of this word but it doesn’t matter much for me. I know for sure that we had a good time together and never experienced boredom and weariness. With the lapse of time the amount of my friends reduced and now I haven’t got a person in this world whom I can call my friend. As for me, I think that it wasn’t my fault. I was always sincere and frank with my friends. I was always sympathetic with them and they felt my support. They knew that they could always, at any moment, rely on my and knew that I would never reject their requests. Maybe they became more self-confident and didn’t need my support and pieces of advice any more. Now I need support and somebody who would save me from my loneliness. I often think if should contact with them and restore our relations. No, I think that it is not a good idea. Maybe I am too proud and this my disadvantage, but why should I call them if they are guilty in the fact that we are not friends any more. Besides, I don’t want to show my weakness to them. Let them think that everything is OK and I too, don’t need their company. I have a cat, who doesn’t let me plunge into depression. Animals are so staunch and devoted that I sometimes think that it is better to live among animals than in our society.
