People are so sad because all they think about is money
It would be a lot easier if they were good enough to live without spending money.

Yes ~
I used to think ! that I should just keep making money on the sly as long as I didn't break the law.
But when I did that, the key relationships went bad. People who do things they don't want to do don't seem to be attractive.
People came to me when I did things for money, like being a daddy's daddy, but ・ ・ ・ That's not a real friend.
It doesn't matter if you only have money and are lonely.
After a certain point in my trial, when I put aside my pride, became honest, and started helping people without compensation, I was able to build good relationships.
Some people might think that I would have trouble with money or living, but surprisingly I don't. ! Strangely enough, I am doing better financially than before.
I think it's a waste for people to only look for grants and things like that ! Let's go out on the street and help each other ! You will have a wonderful encounter !.

LA
My opinion got more response than I expected, so I'd like to translate it into English and post it on various forums in the U.S. !

Former prostitute
No - No, and on what basis ?
If you are lonely, I can help you. I mean, if everyone stopped spending money, the prostitutes would be in trouble. They will be able to live only by serving and pleasing the old men.
You should learn various skills while you still can.

# 23 mickey, # 24 Aloha, I see you as an intelligent person with a broad perspective insight and experience and well informed about the world.
# 26 LA, interesting. # 27 Former prostitute, I can't say for sure that you are an Aum Shinrikyo member, but you certainly reek of an emerging religion.

Well, Taro, I was waiting to see what answer you would give.
I don't judge myself by my title. I am not even arguing whether your opinion is right or wrong. I merely read your opinions and wrote my impressions.
I judge people based on their circumstances, background, humanity, words and deeds, and the way they think about things. On the other hand, when I see someone who has a title but no substance, I feel disappointed.

Also, I have a question for Taro. but I don't require an answer.
( I thought that if you answered sincerely somewhere in your mind, I could make a different judgment based on the way you answered. After reading your short and categorical comment, I sympathized and agreed with what someone once said about only having a "stereotypical" way of looking at things and thinking which is aptly said.
On the contrary, I was hoping that you might have something deeper in mind.

You assume that I am condescending to the homeless, but no, I am not.
However, if you were hypothetically homeless, I do not deny that I might look down on you today.
An important perspective is how you became homeless, why and why not, and many other aspects.
physical reasons : illness, injury, disability, etc.
mental reasons : intellectual disability, mental retardation, depression, significant inability to relate well, etc.
reasons related to home and family relationships : abuse ( child abuse ・ all forms of abuse, including sexual abuse ), domestic violence, neglect, etc.
social reasons : layoffs, unemployment, ( including economic reasons ) etc.
drug addiction, especially illegal drugs, alcoholism, gambling
who chose to be homeless by their own choice without any compelling reason, and many other reasons.
There is a big difference between those who became homeless out of necessity and those who became homeless without a compelling reason.

Among those we have seen in the daily landscape even before the corona disaster, there are those who are homeless but have signed employment contracts and go to work properly from their tents.
Some send their children to school from their tents.
Some homeless people live quietly and quietly, not bothering others.
Some homeless people urinate in public at bus stops where many people are waiting for the bus. There are also homeless people everywhere who are hanging out in large and small puddles. There are homeless people who wander around almost naked and making strange noises, and there are homeless people who mumble to themselves. Some homeless people are aggressive, threatening or trying to harm you. Some homeless people play the role of a physically disabled person and demand money.
Some homeless people pretend to be someone who has lost a leg and demand money because a part of their wheelchair is broken.
Some homeless people play the role of a visually impaired person, and when they have made some money, they dash off on their bicycles.
This is a scene many of you have probably seen at least once.

People who have been homeless for some reason long before the Corona disaster,
people who lost their jobs and can no longer pay their rent without financial assistance, people who had to give up their homes because they could not pay back the mortgage on the house they had bought,
people whose companies went bankrupt and they are now on the street.
The sad reality is that many people who originally had a decent social life are now forced to live homeless due to circumstances beyond their control after the Corona disaster.
At first glance, I can usually tell whether a person has been homeless for a long time or has recently become homeless.
Not only myself, but anyone with a certain amount of social experience can instantly identify ・ with what you call "dead fish eyes" ( which are actually eyes that pretend not to see and look at you calmly ) and can make an instant identification judgment.

Both myself and my family members have been involved in various ways, including research and volunteer work helping the homeless, rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders, drug addicts, alcoholics, etc. after release from prison.
The questions you said were against privacy. Most questions, with the exception of a few, are actually questions that I ask the subject to consider how to deal with them in the future, including how knowledgeable or educated they are based on their answers.
Do you have a home, do you have family ・ ・ ・ If you are alone, you can live as you please, but if you have someone to provide for, you cannot live as you please.
By the way, if you don't know anything about Marx ・ Leninism or North Korea, by all means study up. There will be politicians who doze off during meetings and who don't do much. But never make assumptions based on the "stereotype" of the example. Some politicians are sweating for a better society.
I quote you as saying, "What we need today is not to work for society like robots, but for everyone to be free and live without contracts, helping each other [according to mood]." He writes.
I am probably not the only one who feels irresponsible when you say [depending on my mood].

After reading your post,
I have many friends and acquaintances who are angry at me, such as "What is the point of this Taro guy's angry comment ??
I think there was a certain amount of buzz, but it is an undeniable fact that it has angered many people who are serious about their lives. Please read the kind words of the comments you have received, the true feelings hidden between the lines of polite words.
If you are serious and not just joking, why don't you start a new thread and write a detailed explanation of what you think and how you want to create such a society, and ask for supporters ?
Together with those supporters, you can lead the homeless to a better direction. Together with those supporters, we can help the homeless.
It was reported on the news that they cleaned up the mess in front of WalGreen: dirty trash, mattresses, cardboard, borrowed shopping carts, etc.
Being homeless does not mean you can make the town dirty.
If you take the initiative to help the homeless by cleaning up or encouraging them to clean up such dirty places,
I think you will find many people who will recognize you and cooperate with you.

People around me said, "Enough, don't deal with idiots, leave them alone." I commented as an individual's opinion.
This may be my last comment to you.
You are free to think what you want. You are free to think as you wish in your mind. However, it is also very important to listen to opinions that differ from your own.
Hopefully, you will be a leader in helping the homeless by working hard and sweating for the homeless and not just thinking about yourself.
I hope it won't be long before we hear happy reports and news about you one day.

Karma


why are you assuming I can't speak English ?
and why are you assuming I'm homeless ?
to be honest I'm not homeless and can write normal English I am not homeless and I can write normal English. My parents are also American.
I wonder why you read my posts that way.
Have you been living in the US so long that you have forgotten Japanese ??
