The problem with humanity is we seem to like to put things into categories by the characteristics they share in common, leading to stereotyping or generalisation of a group. We can assess situations better and analyze things more by using a grouping method, however while this may prove to be effective at times, it is also a source of our demise. Grouping a species of flowers is nothing like grouping humans.
The problem with any established government system is they treat people as a whole, or a group, not seeing them as human beings, as an individual person.
Government systems are oppressive to people! All people who are in the system do not want to be in the system. All people living in poverty do not want to live in poverty.
When you look at media, reports in the news papers, and when people speak. I feel hurt, anger, and pity all at the same time when I hear people talk about people in the system,or in poverty like they are unworthy of value. People are experiencing a sense of hopelessness, trying to break the cycles of poverty being in the system.
People are born into poverty. Poverty is an inherited status from birth, and one must try to work against the grain, trying to get out of it. The system does not make this easy.
For every 1 person who tries to beat the system, there are 10 trying to get over on the system, and 50 others who don't care.
But, for the one who cares....left feeling hopeless.
So, should we have a system in place which does not care about the one, because the group as a whole doesn't care? that is the case with the welfare system, or for any other system for that matter. What about the one who wants to break the cycle of poverty and failure?
How do we restore the hope of a hopeless?
