R on R vol 1

[Boss]

Once on my way to walmarts, I saw this dude sleeping on the park bench right outside the door..it's pretty cold @ night and he's using his backpack as his pillow

Just took me back to when i moved into this town for the first time...with my suitcase, broke and penniless.

I was fortunate tho, I had fam who supported me and a few "friends" who gave me a roof over my head.

Now i look @ this guy and say I thank God, I could have been worse off like he is right now.

Isnt that wrong? Arent we guilty of that? Using someone else's misfortunes as a scale for urs and feeling somehow gratified u not in the other man's situation?

One questions ur conscience when u do that? That's wrong...but it seems if religion (and wut not )makes it right to do that.

I find that quite shameful but yet very natural.

Shouldn't that be replaced with something? Wouldn't the good thing to have done might be to help that young man in my situation? Why do we have to do that? Why do we have to look at a man struggling in mud and u on the pedestal of gold can't help him just lift ur nose up to the heavens like a fucking pharisee and say thank god i'm not him?

its not a religion thing...

i have heard atheists say " i am grateful that ish didn't happen to me "
like it was supposed to happen to another fella.
Really its a thing of the mind and decisions that the individual

...a scientologist may help that fellow and some other scientologist will not
