Hindsight being 2020, Here’s a Thought-Provoking Piece.

The way I see it.

You can teach a man to fish all day long, but if they can't afford the permit to fish he still can't fish.

You can send an addict to the most expensive rehab and spend all your hard-earned cash to get them clean and sober, but if the addict isn't ready they'll go right back to their addiction.

You can have 190 different available employment opportunities

But if those businesses won't hire people with a past, those people will still be jobless.

You can give food stamps and cash aid to the poverty-stricken and the elderly

But if you're not willing to TEACH them how to budget their money

They'll continue to use it frivolously.

You can send a student to the best college and they can earn the highest degrees

But if there aren't any open positions, they still won't be able to find a job in their field.

You can give a person a brand new home and cut their rent down to $30.00 a month

But if they don't know how to maintain that home, it will end up wrecked and broken.

You can erect a thousand homeless shelters and feed the homeless 3 Square meals a day

But unless their individual needs are addressed, they will still be homeless.

You can shout your opinions on POLITICS, ECONOMICS, RELIGION, and BELIEFS on every rooftop in every town,

But, that doesn't mean everyone who hears you will accept your point of view.
