WARNING! Controversial Thread

there's that old old saying. Be careful what you wish for, it may come true.

I was homeless for a couple of years once back in the 90's through bad luck and crap timing. It was hell. you have no idea what it is like to be truely cold, to wonder if you are going to die in the night because you can't find shelter or warmth and have only eaten scraps for the last few weeks, You start to get ill as your health declines and it becomes a real struggle to stay afloat and stop yourself going under. body lice, fleas, Tb, and a host of other nasty little things that people who live in houses don't really give any thought to .
It's the little things that will eat you away from the inside. Morale, mental well being, once these start to slip they are hard to get back. One problem after another, compounding, gaining momentum and slowly crushing the humanity out of you.

I was one of the lucky ones, and it was luck. Many people I know have fallen beyond the reach of salvation and many are no longer alive.

Scythe, if you want to see how shitty life can get go and do some voluntary work in a shelter for the homeless. It may change your mind and make you see that this life aint so bad!
