In a Monday morning meeting security briefing my colleagues talked about how the number of break-ins and thief increase during ‘hunger season’, which is a 4 month long season that real people have to endure almost every year. In Ottawa this winter, I was talking to a guy about poverty and he wasn’t concerned about it because ‘people who live in poverty are so happy.’ I tried to point out to him that nobody wants to live in poverty. Poor people have to wake up earlier and work harder everyday just to survive and their health and quality of life is often nowhere near what we are use to in the west, who enjoy fancy things like plumbing, glass or screened windows to keep the bugs out, textbooks in schools, crayons... I hope you can agree with me when I say that guy is an idiot.
