The solution to all problems: Sympathy. There is not enough of it in this world and i for one am getting sick and tired of it. Ya know not everyone that is unemployed is a dead beat. People need to be a little more understanding of life problems. People who are not living up to so called "standards of life" may have a lot of other issues going on. Just because you can't pay you bills or support yourself at a particular time in life automatically puts you in a class of deadbeat, loser, or stupid. When in actuality there are many factors that put you in that position in the first place. I'm not saying the blame should be put on any one in particular, but maybe if people has sympathy of the situation that your in, it could make all the difference.
Just because someone is having a hard time or complaining about something that you can't relate to, it doesn't make that problem any less important. Life sucks and that's just that way it is and you have to keep on going and i get that. But maybe as an outsider, you can take a step back, look at the situation and just say "wow that person has a lot going on that i can't understand but maybe i should be supportive anyway."
I for one am guilty of judging to quick and now that i'm in a hurtful situation, i realize that not everything is what it seems and that there are many factors that go in to a situation. You never know what is going on in someones life and just because they don't show all the pain that is going on, doesn't mean its not there.
So the next time you go and give someone a hard time, DON'T. Because the next words you say to them, could be the ones that put them over the edge.
