Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.
Herman Melville, novelist and poet (1819-1891)

To the point and completely true. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI am worried for all who have no insurance and have no shelter, have no job...life is not easy. If ever I have more to share I will do it...twicefold.
ReplyDeleteWell said sir!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Can I have an Amen.
ReplyDeleteScarily so. It's easy to lose empathy when you're comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true, very easy to judge from the comfort of your armchair.
ReplyDeleteWow! Never read that quote by Melville before. It is so true. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
It is so true of course.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteAnd AMEN!
ReplyDeleteI went into hibernation with our cold weather this last 10 days...now that temps are above freezing again I can venture out to cyber as well as streetside. Have missed you & will catch up.
Now, how do we get this out to those who are doing the criticizing?
ReplyDeleteLove.
