Bordom and Faith

I am sitting here listening to part of Imogen Heap's new album on Myspace. I can't say enough how incredible bored I am. All weekend all I've been doing is sleeping. Not because I'm tired, but because it's something I just do during the day now.

I did something I think is good but I get heck from some people. If a young girl knocked on your door looking for change to do laundry because her boyfriend kicked her out and threw all her stuff out of the apartment and went to Vegas with a girl he's cheating on her with. And she is from Portland and has no money to get there until her parents send her money. All I did was help her out by giving like $2 in change. I felt good and thought I was doing a good thing helping her. But everyone seems to think she was lying and I shouldn't have done it. What is happening to this world? I try and do something good and I get shit for it. It's sad that no one would help someone else just because they don't know them. I'm saying right now that if I was in trouble I would want someone to help me. This is what happens when people lose all faith in anything out of the "norm".

It makes me sad to see so many people not have any belief in anything at all nowadays. It's like well, I for one would like to know there is something to look forward to. We got on this earth somehow. For those people that don't believe in anything I'd like to know what their explanation is. I'm very understanding and I think everything and anything is possible. I believe in more than any one person does I can say that much. I'm not saying I follow by book. I have my own beliefs. But at least I can say that.

I would like to know that there is good out there still. I'm sure there is. It's just hard to find.

Chances are that you're friends are right and she came up with a story to get some money from you. No one knows what she really will use it for, so really the whole idea of should you or shouldn't you depends not on HER but on YOU.

What you were saying about how no one believes in good anymore really is true. Think of it this way: She made a choice to ask for money (for whatever reason). You made a choice to give her some money.

Anything outside those two choices has nothing to do with you. You are a good person who did a nice thing for someone. Whether or not she is a junkie or just a kid having bad luck or whatever really hasn't got a thing to do with you.

Now some people are jaded about sparing change to someone because they believe that they have some level of power over what they person does with THEIR money. Ex, well this homeless guy looks hungry, but he's probably an alcoholic who couldn't hold down a job, so I'm not giving him the money I worked hard for.

How could anyone REALLY know this homeless man's narrative? They don't. It's all made up.

You just have a firmer grasp on reality than those more jaded people and you happen to be a generous, kind human being. The world needs more people like you in it, badly.
