Food for thought…

How many times have you not closed your eyes to a wrong simply because it was committed by someone you lionise? Haven’t you ever competed with poor people for something that was provided or given for free, and despite having the means to pay for it?

Tell me you’ve never borrowed and didn’t return, or employed the services of broke people without giving them something in proportion to their hectic labour? Tell me you’ve never used anyone as trampoline, betrayed or played game on anyone, or have someone jumped for your own personal benefit?

Tell me you’ve never left someone grumbling about his troubles, when in secret you’re hoarding more than enough to change his life? Tell me you’ve never offered a price too high or set a price too low to something and only because you want to deprive someone from getting that thing?

How many times haven’t you preached that people should learn to help each other, but as it happens you don’t have a single person on your own record? Have you not ever shown someone empathy on account of a misfortune, only to go behind his back and proclaim that his condition is but a deserved retribution? (defko Moye)

Haven’t you made someone appear to be the perpetrator of a wrong that you personally committed – and even if the wrong was as small as farting in public - but now you have the effrontery to pretend to be very caring or perhaps the realest and coolest thing since kool-aid?
