The Fortunate Against The Less Fortunate
Why do people who more fortunate pick on people less fortunate? I am not talking about illness or disabilities. I am talking about the fact that people with more money think it's o.k. to pick on people who don't have so much.
Commonly these people feel this way, because they believe for whatever sick reason that they are superior to the less fortunate. I do not understand this thought, because no matter how many zero's you have on your pay check, the right to miss treat someone is never your's. In all reality just like kinder gardeners when they don't understand something they react in a negative way. These fortunate people most likely don't understand why the less fortunate are less fortunate.
I'm not ashamed to say I live in a single parent home,and no I can't afford things that kids with a TWO parent household can. Does that mean I deserve to be teased? No! Just because your boots are $200 and mine were $60, you don't have the right to treat me as if I'm a piece of trash. In elementary they shoved this thing called the golden rule which said, " Treat others as you want to be treated." Did we all forget about those simple yet meaningful words? Apparently we got a little money and threw them away.
No matter how much or how little money you make we all deserve to be treated equal. No one has the right to treat someone badly because they have less money.
