Controversy

For the life of me, I can't understand why we just all can't get along with each other. For the goddesses sake, we're all in this life together whether we want to be or not. I guess it's a matter of perspective. From my perspective, a whole lot of people never see what life is like on the other side. What other side? Well, it depends on where you start. Young woman in college on dad's dime? Work behind the counter at a greasy spoon. Middle aged man with a 20 year white collar job? Stock the back room at midnight in a home improvement store. White middle class stay at home mom? Stand on a street corner with a hooker and talk to her about her kids. Warm house in the winter? Cut that heat off for a day or three. Bored teenager from the 'burbs? Dodge bullets downtown while you go pay bills with loose change. Trust me, you'll never be the same. Been there, done that, couldn't afford the t-shirt, so I got perspective like some people get religion.
