Funny Free Ecards Birthday Biography
Source (google.com.pk )Did you see that eCard up there? What did you think? Wait, no. Don't tell me because I am hoping that what you thought was this....
"I am not living in poverty. And so because I have no idea what it means to live this way, I will not judge and throw out bullshit ecard "funnies" like a privileged dick who thinks they know anything beyond their Starbucks pumpkin latte and my fortunate ability to never worry about whether or not there is enough gas in my car or food to feed my kids or warm clothes for the changing season and all that other stuff that so many of us come by without having to give it too much thought. If someone living in poverty is gifted a nice pair of shoes (GASP! Sometimes they even get them for free because a nice mutli-quadrillion profiting company donates last year's not as cool anymore stock to Goodwill, shelters or thrift shops), or I see them with an iPhone (OMG those assholes! How can they afford an iPhone?? Never mind that all the 'obsolete' early versions are given away for 10 bucks or for free because Apple is ready to make another 500 clams a pop off the salivating consumer with cash to burn for the latest in technology every single mother humping year. And it is apparently NOT common knowledge that land lines are obsolete. Connection to the outside world is not a luxury, right? I mean. RIGHT!?!?!?) or eating out at the local fast food joint with their family (OMFG forbid!, that you see them dining at Burger King and spending 20 dollars. Because, jeez,they should be eating ramen, no?) , I will not judge them. They are human beings and deserve my damn respect for a life, knowledge base and survival skills that I know nothing about."
.
The person that likes or posts this eCard on Facebook doesn't really fear their child going to school with clothes 5 years out of style. They also think nothing of spending money on a sanity saving "I just don't feel like cooking" McDonald's run. Something else they may not worry about? Getting their utilities turned off. Juggling who to and when to pay bills and at what time so that they don't get sued and the water stays hot. It's a constantly thinking life. Those living in ACTUAL poverty are ALWAYS thinking. ALWAYS wondering and ALWAYS planning.
Ok, calm down.
Don't get me wrong, I know you plan too. I do. We are a bit on the poorer side. I've written about it. We are working poor. But I do not live in poverty and still I know that I am not immune to it's possibility. Most Americans are ONE catastrophe away from poverty. A major illness. A job loss. A tragedy. So who gets to be high and mighty about hating the poor? If Facebook is any indication, just about everyone. And it's making me sick.
I mean, paycheck to paycheck anyone? Have you ever lived that way? Do you realize how close you were to welfare?
Those in poverty are people who deserve to be seen. They are people who deserve to be respected for the survival skills that they have been learning and using to make life a little less bullshit.To make life a little less painful and scary and dependent on others. They are human beings who deserve the joy one gets from a nice pair of shoes, or cable TV or a G.D. iPhone because they will never go to Disneyworld and they will never eat at a fancy ass restaurant and they will never have time to just not worry about life.
And to those that think they pay for these people to eat, I say this.
