I’d rather someone assume that I’m a working man than a bum.
Seems like some people feel like working is beneath them.
Bums and dregs.
I love to work. If I couldn’t work, I’d honestly probably shoot myself.
It keeps me focused and sane. I’m a man that needs repetition and stability to stay happy.
I see some of the people I went to school with and it’s just… depressing. Always asking for money, always broke. No patterns. Just randomness and aimlessness. But yet no shame about being a bum.
I could never live like that. It’s different if you lose a job and have to find other work. But to willingly not work? I can’t even imagine it. Going years without a job? And by choice?
Screw that crap. I don’t want anyone to have that kind of power over me. Which is what you give up as a bum. You give up any sense of independence and are at the mercy of others to give you a hand out.
