Today on the subway a homeless woman asked for money and I thought to myself, "shit, if it's hard for me to find a job, a college graduate from a nice family with a Bachelor of Arts from a good university,  . . . then I can't imagine what it's like for other people..." 

One of my biggest pet peeves is when ignorant people with money say that poor people are lazy.  Ignorance is not bliss, it's just unintelligent and rude.

  1. I think ignorance is bliss. Only for the simple fact that the less you know the longer you remain innocent. Exposure to anything that creates a negative image only creates the false image of subtle heroism. Truth is, heroism is 9 times out of 10 just a temporary splash of faith, only 1 out of that 10 take that splash and turn it into a river that can be seen from a satellite. With ignorance, race and stereotypes do not exist. things just simply are, what they are. i wish more people were ignorant, it would make this place a lot less complicated.
