One Reason I Think I Would Never Choose To Be Homeless For More Than A Few Nights!
Before Deciding To EASILY Get Food, Shelter, And A Roof Over My Head Instead!
Why People Choose To
Live On The Streets!
Note: This article
is NOT what you think it will be.
In a world
of impossible house home prices, and where even the hardest working has to resort to food banks,
If you did
find yourself so disenfranchised that you
were homeless, chances are then that you stuck in the cold open air for life!
Totally
pulled out of my Arse with no actual evidence I reckon
your chances of being Brutally Raped,
Beaten or Murdered on the Streets Vs Being Brutal,
Raped, Beaten or Murdered in Prison are
about the same.
Except if you're Killed in Prison someone will have to do some paperwork,
While if you
go “Missing” on the street, there is a
good chance no one will notice.
Not a lot of extra meaning to your existence
but at least it’s something.
They say
that most people living rough are Drug addicts.
If this is
true I imagine it is much easier to get
drugs in prison than in the outside world.
(I say this
with comic irony, but there is actually a chance that this might be true!)
So on
balance, based on the above assumptions, Pretty similar existences.
APART from
in prison, you get 3 meals a day and a
bed with a roof over your head and you will be MUCH
warmer!
DING! DING!
We have a winner! Prison on balance is your best Tactical Choice!
I REALLY hate the Cold!
I REALLY
hate the missing a meal!
If I Suddenly found myself sleeping rough. Based on
the assumptions I have made above, I’d probably
decide “Screw This” and Murder one or two people at random to get locked up!
Of course, it would be nice to choose someone you feel Deserves it, A Paedophile, A Nazi/ Liberal (depending on
personal politics.)
But at the
End of the day, after a 3rd missed meal and 2 below freezing nights,
it would no longer really mattered “who” anymore!
They “CHOOSE”
to live on the streets because they have
the decency not to go into a rage and
simply start taking stuff that they need.
(Note there:
I said NEED! NOT simply WANT!)
SO Yes,
people do “Choose” to live on the streets.
They
“Choose” to beg and ask for handouts.
BECAUSE they
have more, Honour, Grace, and Humanity than I think I can ever be capable of in
the same situation!
