I Won't Erode Quickly Away.

So... life is about.. hurry up and wait.. The cutbacks at centers have begun... but it will take a little time.. rumor has it that we are slated to close.. but again.. nothing is substantial.  It says it will take at least 6 months to close a center.... and we won't know anything until at least 30 days.. so if all goes well.. I should have 7 - 8 months before I will be heading to another state. I have always worked... except for a 3 month stint of unemployment... and frequent layoffs at a job in the 90's but they were only for a few weeks at a time. The jobs are always out there.. IF you are willing to go to where they are... most people aren't comfortable in leaving the location they are accustomed to being.  I look at all the homeless people in the major northern cities... the ones that nearly freeze in the winter... and all I can think is.. move!! ....I know.. I know most don't have a car.. and wouldn't have any place to sleep at night on the road... ummmmmm.. THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO SLEEP ANYWAY!!!   If a person makes it through the Winter... then travel while it's warm.. and when you get some place comfortable.. stop.. it's that simple. Of course many homeless people aren't going to be reading this anyway... if you are homeless.. sell your computer moron.. then migrate south. Kudos to those homeless in Florida or Texas.. or even California...all those warm places.. at least you guys won't freeze to death this Winter.  I think there is too much money spent on foreign countries.. but I am certain most people share this opinion.. we should be working on rehabilitating those homeless.. retraining them.. and if they choose not to get on board.. then let 'em starve or freeze. The major problem with most people is they are victims.. Everyone feels like either society.. or someone else.. owes them money.  I was talking with my students.. about how years ago.. even when I was tiny.. people left their doors open when they left even.. the thought of someone coming in.. just didn't occur.. because it rarely happened.  People could be trusted.. there was some integrity in the world.  I hate to say this.. but our society has lost the foundations of its moral fabric.  People just don't care anymore.  I cannot be responsible for anyone's actions but my own.. and if I lie... it just adds to the moral decay of society... maybe not to a great extent.. but the Grand Canyon was made by just a little river over centuries.. Over a period of time.. things just erode away. Life is pretty much set up that way.. we erode... or wear out over the years.... and yeah.. we can prolong things for a bit.. but what.. 10 - 20 years.. maybe 30 if we're lucky.. sooner or later we all fall victim to time.. I can let myself accept that.. but I suppose my soul has been a victim of erosion in a different manner. I strive to prevent the circumstances taking place that can further lead to my downfall emotionally or mentally.  I figure that will happen enough without any outside influences.  I make my life based on my actions... and I won't erode quickly away.
