Poor People

[Sommernacht]

Well, I think you really should be careful about such things.

First of all I guess you know for yourself that this might be the case with some poor people, but surely not with all of them.

On the other hand: yes, I think there are also quite a few people who get themselves into "poverty", for example through bad spending habits. I think these are people who are having problems in general managing their lives.

But can you really blame them, that they also want to participate in life? Okay, I don't think I would buy an iPhone or a flat screen HDTV if I would be out of money. But I can understand that for the relative "few" poor people in western societies it must be hard to live among people who have so much.

This is not to say it's a good way of behaving but I guess buying such things is maybe their hope of having a better life, they just want to "buy" a better life perhaps. Even if it will end up being quite the contrary.

Okay, you're working in a store. But does that really give you insight on peoples personal lives? You probably don't know the story behind the people buying the TVs and iPhones so I think you should be a bit more careful to judge them.
