I was walking by and this guy said, “Spare change? I’m hungry” so I stopped, sat down and gave him $3. He said, “Thank you my nubian brother. I promise I don’t spend all my money on drugs and alcohol.”
“I don’t spend all my money on drugs and alcohol either, only some of it.”
He smiled and said, “I appreciate it, you’re better than most of these people. You ask them for help and they just ignore you, atleast say ‘no’. Being ignored is what makes people really crazy. How bad do I have to look to get help, you want me to lay on the sidewalk and cry, it ain’t gonna happen. You ignore people and they resort to desperate shit, like busting you upside your fucking head. Yeah, you can call the cops, but then you got a busted head. People gotta do what they gotta do.”
