12. Both observations are true.

It's just amazing to me that someone who was taught the same songs we used to sing in church thinks it's okay to let people who truly need help suffer, just because his nose is out of joint that he had to have a job, and someone else is getting something he's not.

He should be grateful he was born and stayed healthy enough to work, and not with a disability or a life threatening illness. Not everyone gets to say the same. We don't always get to choose all of our life's circumstances.

It's corny but when I heard and sang lyrics like "when I was hungry, you gave me to eat, when I was thirsty you gave me to drink, now enter into the home of my father. For what so ever you do for the least of my brothers that you do unto me," they resonated to my core and I believed that is always what we should do. It's hard to accept some people heard and sang the same thing, and just went "fuck that," and still claim their "christian."
