The thought of a child never being to MacDonalds, of never feeling the pleasure of getting a new toy as a surprise, of never getting those new sneakers that everyone else has, or even trying to explain to his classmates why he's not eating lunch today brings tears to my eyes and destroys the morale and resolve of the parent that constantly has to say No to that child because they just don't have the money. This happens everyday not only in the major centers of Canada but in the small towns of Nova Scotia. More often that not you will see that women are living in poverty with children that learn at a very young age that life is just not fair. We live in a society that has shown people that in order to be valued you have to have money and possessions, I agree thats not right, but should a child have to carry that on their shoulders? NO - ABSOLUTELY NOT! Should the single Mother or Father have to carry this on their shoulders? NO - ABSOLUTELY NOT! What about the burden of being a middle income family that has a traditional mom and dad and 2.5 kids, believe it or not they carry this burden as well. There is no easy solution, but those of us that are fortunate enough to be in a position to have food on the table are the only ones that are going to be able to help this issue. Its easy for us to sit back and blame the government (thats another blog at another time), but considering they continue to do research paper after research paper while "Jane Doe" and her children starve prove their not going to do anything. This needs to be grass roots, we need to prove that everyone is important and deserves to have happiness. As stated above the world at this point and time is unfair, but wouldn't it be nice if just for awhile we were all equal and had a little less to worry about. I'm open to suggestions and comments.
The one thing that makes my blood boil is when men can't walk away from a failed relationship and decide to end a woman's life!
I don't understand why they can't simply let it go and move on????
Anyone got the answer to that one???
