Homelessness is not real. It is an artificial human construct that does not in actuality exist as a problem for us. We do not have a shortage of cheap, available housing in this country. We have a shortage of heart and soul. Witness this, mes amis: I pulled these figures off the web in a second (from 2013), and the number of vacant homes in America is 14.2 MILLION. Yes, you read that right: millions of empty homes that need humans to inhabit them: http://www.realtytrac.com/content/news-and-opinion/americas-142-million-vacant-homes-a-national-crisis-7723.
After all, if we don't care for objects, they break down, fall apart, and drop away. It is our tending to a house that makes it into a home. What is the point of chronic abandonment? More losses? It doesn't make any sense, any way you look at it: from an economic standpoint, a moral point of view, or as an ethical debate. We need people to feel at home, because people deeply rooted in the idea of community do not commit offenses against their neighbors who love them, because they would be the very same who gave them shelter. Would you? And if you do have diseased neighbors so sick that they bite the hand that feeds them, we have options for those sick members of our society, too. We can take care of our own and move forward, my friends in Christ. Don't believe otherwise, because that is a lie.
To pretend otherwise is a conceit that you (and you know who you are) can't afford to ignore anymore, because we're onto you. Move forward with us, human, in love and in faith. That is all for today. You have your orders. Go for it. This is "Love Thy Neighbor", folks. You want to get in on this message for real; like, yesterday, in fact.
