I saw (and smelled) a guy in the 7-11 recently who was trying to buy himself some breakfast booze. It’s clear that this guy clearly needs some kind of help in his life. He buys his booze and only has $5. They say he’s about $.70 short or something and he begins to try and swipe his credit card which is kind of a train wreck situation. A lady, noticing this, rushed over and gave him $.70 so he could buy his booze.
If there is a higher power of some sort, what’s their divine opinion on that situation? This guy is clearly going to get that booze somehow so he can either get it by being given $.70 or he can get it by performing dangerous stunts for Chicago’s teenagers. At the same time, you’re basically contributing to this guy slowly killing himself by alcohol poisoning. I figure that’s a wash but I don’t have enough of a background in religion to be totally sure.
One other note: no way that woman gives the dude $.70 if he’s sitting outside asking for cash so he can get some food. Homeless drunk on sidewalk = invisible, keep on moving. Homeless drunk in 7-11 = give him whatever, he’s holding up the goddamned line.
Booze Change was a buster scene. Keep coming back.
I saw where you were going with this from a mile away and I applaud you. I thought the same exact thing.
