Snap judgement
I have been led to think about wealth and the thought divide it creates. I will not deny that there is some truth to the belief that rich kids can appear detached from reality. On the other hand, it is all too easy for the street-dwellers to act as though "street smarts" are all that matter. I do recognise that it is too easy to judge first and ask questions later. I have, after all, been on both the giving and receiving end.
I used to think that receiving was better than giving. A part of me still wants to receive only and not have to give. However, I now realise that there is only so much one can get from charity. There's so much more to be gained from making it yourself.
I wonder how much depression is avoidable. I know I still struggle with feelings of emptiness from time to time. It is easy to say that things will get better, but so, so hard to convince yourself or another.
