In order to make an informed judgement, we need to ascertain the
facts.
Fact is, he is old, he 'claims' no one wants to hire him, and
despite being offered employment opportunities by our civilised
society based on his skills or the lack of it, he rejected them
with excuses.
It is true that as we age, employment opportunities diminishes,
an evil our society is trying hard to correct by offering upgrading
courses as quick as we can to stay relevant. There will be
undeniable fact that some chosed not to upgrade, but that is a
freedom of choice, which comes at a price.
Having no relevant skills, one cannot afford to be choosy in the
matter of survival. The job may sucks, but it is still money, vital
in these drastic times. Should one then be a beggar instead and
blame society, when society is grappling with itself to come to
terms with recession and retrenchments?
In order to help him,if transport costs is an issue, perhaps
CDCs can help him find a cleaning job nearer to his home? Asses his
financial situation on how best to get mileage on the dollar for
his utility bills? Food vouchers of 2-in-1 coffee satchels? Many
Relationship Managers are out of jobs now, perhaps they can join
CDC and help the poor manage their finances, a springboard of
experience when good times return?
We cannot afford pity. Give the man a fish, and it will feed him
a day. Teach him to fish, and you would help him for life. There
are plenty more destitutes to help in our society. Teaching,
changing mindsets will extend the dollar of our hardearn money to
help the poor.
sound like a good idea
doesnt mean that that guy is poor and we need to pity him
infact i dont care about him at all cause i wont be able to help
him also
wat i dont like is he is been run down by some well feed brat
when that brat itself isnt in that old man shoe and have no idea of
the suitation ........
basically is looking down on ppl. the kind of ppl which i hate
most.
