Yesterday I went to the supermarket to get my weekly grocceries and some Thanksgiving supplies for the coming holiday. Anyway as I was turning into the roads that leads to the parking lot of said supermarket I drove past a homeless man holding a carboard sign. It said, "Will Work for Food for Kids." And the first thought that came to my mind was that I bet he would use the money to buy alcohol or cigarettes.
The more I think that the more I am a little disgusted of what I have become. I try to believe that most people are good who try to do the right things. Its the minority of scum that distort the perception that the world is full of greedy crocks who care only about themselves. Thats what I like to say I believe in but look of what I thought yesterday. I automatically assumed the worst of a person without knowing a shred of information how the homelessman got to his situation. I just wonder when did I get so cynical and lose my faith in people? I'm probably overreacting but still I'm just disappointed in myself. I should know better to make snap judgements after all the times people have pre-judged me.
