"No more talking about the homeless"

[Putts]

Out in TheWorld (meaning "normal" society) homelessness is essentially thought of as a financial predicament, and all the talk around it centers on money and the ability to make it within TheWorld's system. I reckon TheWorld's system is insane, and you can't be sane in an insane world. 

I met a guy in Slab City that said he felt like a fish in a tree climbing contest out in TheWorld. Had nothing to do with money, he knew he didn't fit in and had to escape. 

I wonder how many of the homeless are so because they just can't take the TheWorld's bullshit. 

I see the bullshit. It doesn't make me crazy because I essentially have given up caring about it. Well, I care about it only enough to figure out how to play the game well enough to make a living. But once I figured out I could make my escape, I sure as hell made moves to do so. I'm close now. 

So I wonder: If we stop viewing homelessness as purely a financial issue within TheWorld's system, and, rather, begin to view it as an alternative to living in TheWorld, would we see it differently? I reckon maybe 10-20% of houseless people aren't there because they're incapable/unwilling to make a buck within the system, but rather that they're sick, fed up, and tired of TheWorld's bullshit and have just checked out as a matter of personal psychological survival. 

If you look at someone like that from within TheWorld's framework, these folks are deadbeats. If you look at them from the perspective of Universal Love, you see free spirits who refuse to live in the sheep pens. 

I reckon in the next ten years we're going to see a LOT more of these free spirits roaming around.

Like us, more or less.
