I knew most GFYers would react coldly. But I thought there might be people that worked with her or admired her work that would want to help.
I've been helped when I needed it.
I've helped others.
But I do my best never to be cruel or rude to people because they are in need...regardless whose fault their situation is.
In fact, on the way home from the airport, I handed some old granola bars to a guy at the offramp. (I buy expired ones at the swap meet to give to homeless.)
He asked if I had any blankets.
I looked at his dirty face and remembered how cold its been.
So as the light went green, I was outside of my car, pulling an old airline blanket from the trunk of my car to give to him.
It's fine if you don't want to give him food, money, or clothes. But I bet some of you are the same types who were honking at me for holding them up. As if the delay they experienced was somehow more painful than the night this guy has ahead of him. Blows my mind sometimes.
