THE SHELTER ONLINE.

THE BAD HABIT OF EATING OFF THE THRASH, WHEN
HUNGER STRIKES IN THE SHELTER.


My heart sank, when I noticed for the first time the unacceptable habit of some shelterdwellers eating off the thrash, when they have missed asingle,double, thrice, or the many meals that have been served in the shelter.
I wonder why grown-ups in the middle age, the nearly old age adults and the young would sometimes resort to the bad habit of eating off the thrash, when hunger strikes, or when there had not been anything to eat for just asingle day in the shelter.
I am certain , all those involved in the practice of the bad habit are literate citizens, inspite of the fact that some of them may have been awfully hardened, or down trodden in to despair to the extend that they would not care,or think about their being humans,but rather would follow their instincts.
Time, sound upbringing, education and experiences have been some of the factors that determines and shapes an individual's behavior to either overcome, or endure hardship, but not how much of the material things in our world one may have accumulated as many would continue in the long journey of life and all the struggles to sustain our existence mostly as an individual, or as agroup.
In my opinion, when time isn't afactor, an individual's progress in life is determined , or measured by his,or her ability to either overcome the stages of struggles, or the effort often made to sustain the requirements for our existence, or to develope an ability to endure hardship.
