I am currently in Dallas, Texas. I have had systematic persecution and injustice for years.
How many days of bullshit homelessness would it take to stop thinking God, The Church, and Christians have one’s best interest at heart? Golden Rule if a fellow Christian is suffering, leave them on the street, don’t fix any of the injustices that have lead to perpetuation of losses?
Is it wise to set precedent that a fellow citizen that has their ID expire shouldn’t be allowed to access their bank account, shouldn’t be allowed to get an apartment – in a World that is currently in wars that we are partially invested in? No liquidity for me set to no big deal is not the way I wish to be treated.
I would like to think the system being a dick isn’t just a Texas thing. If-ed liquidity, and if-ed real security – I have been robbed before, and access to attack a homeless person is grosser, easier, and likely more tempting than one might like – thoughts of Mr. Robot and the scene with the CIO beating the homeless guy.
If the problem with the Church is they don’t have empathy, can’t walk in others shoes – it might lead to feeling of precedent that what has been good enough for my life weeks homeless might be good enough for others. While I am somewhat strong enough to handle it I would not suggest what has happened to me as good, worth turning up for other citizens, sufficient Golden Rule to not be in sin when combined with James 4:17.
If the Church can’t be trusted to do right by one of their own, really think it will stand up for you when you are persecuted, when injustice knocks at your doorstep? Prayer starts dissolving into feeling of insufficient remedies – false carrots that don’t deliver results that are risks possibly worthy of mitigation by distance, reduced proximity.
How many days would you want your loved one if-ed on access to a bathroom? What kind of precedent should society set? Bathrooms and business hours – they can just shit in the trash cans?
My guess is there are people in the world that are less forgiving than me. Claim to be an ideal peacemaker when they see the example being set of what is happening to my life? If-ing A precedent, A Historic Precedent as useful.
A system that can’t renew my drivers license without an appointment over a month away, that blocks me from getting a passport, that leverages me homeless because I don’t have an unexpired id? This is how society and fellow citizens should treat children of veterans? Should the system, a system that is doing that to my life be allowed to be claimed as just, fair, or sufficient?
Blessed are the peacemakers. Can say the fresh air has done me some good, can’t saying being if-ed on capacity to use the bathroom and robbed of a place to put my bag (forced to carry heavy weight around the city) has been ideal for my heart. Worth trying on someone you care about? If not, really think our society will be blessed, will be continued to be blessed when it is doing the opposite of making peace?
Given that someone in local motels was decapitated – sleeping in the park might be safer in some respects. Someone with a BS and an MS put on the street homeless under bullshit premises and systemic design… how would politicians, lawyers, doctors, and other professionals like to have a similar experience? We don’t grow shark culture or all is fair in love, corporations, and profit? People that don’t respect my time, the time I have left on this earth, should not be able to claim they A-ed the Golden Rule.
