Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery know the meaning of us and them. The problem is that both us and them believe in them and us. The reality is that we are all us. Both sides of the coins are us. Everyone has inherent dignity. Treat each other that way. You know them so called disabled people collecting welfare are taking all my tax money. They are less than me. Make them work. Never mind that I worked at the mill and when I became disabled I received seven times the amount in my disability payment. After all I payed into it. And the disabled person who doesn’t make enough to live on says that I need more. Give me more. And the system says go to work. We can train you. But you know they can’t. And they know they probably can’t so they can’t help you. Everyone needs to be treated with inherent dignity. If we must have us and them treat them with inherent dignity. Why? Because they are us. And more than likely we are them.
