Truth

The first one asked for 79 pence and said he needed it to save him from hitching. Later on in the day, the second one asked for 98 pence and said that they weren't homeless, but needed the money for the bus home. She looked homeless. So I did something that, 99% of the time, is beyond me. I talked to them. I said that I would give her the money if she was homeless, but if she wasn't then I am sure her parents/partner/flatmates would get her home somehow.
She told me to fuck off.
I suppose the truth is hard to take, wherever you are, whoever you are. And I've had worse, a lot worse, and I know from experience that telling the truth sometimes puts you at a disadvantage to the hounds that spew the rhetoric of lies.
Sometimes I feel I'm just not made for this world.
