Social Justice

       “We must do this for the poor,” you say. When have you ever encountered the poor without a look of disgust, without a complaint afterwards? “I can’t believe they let homeless people on the trains!” you say. Who is “they?” The same people you expect to take care of the poor so you don’t have to dirty your hands?

       That gentleman who had the audacity to sit near you? Did you ask him if he’s eaten today? Would you offer him the cheeseburger you bought to treat yourself after a long day walking in the city?

Hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite.
