I really don't understand things...

How is it that we can afford to pay millions of dollars to athletes, but we can't afford to pay any money toward people who are disabled? What are we teaching our younger generations when we can't afford a few dollars to give them an opportunity that they would not have received otherwise... Why can't we afford to help those whom are trying to get by each day and still not making enough.
I can honestly say that its exhausting working countless hours everyday and still not having enough to pay the bills on time. I am so thankful and know I am blessed to be someone whom has a job, but there are days I just wonder... when will it be enough? when will this money hungry world start to understand that that's not what its about. we need to start being aware and looking out for one another.
