Revelation

Wes and I pulled up to the gas station to fill up my car. He got out while I stayed buckled in. As I sat in my seat, I noticed a man digging through the trashcan to the right of me. He pulled out old bottles and cans, anything that could be recycled, and put them all into his own trashbag. Without realizing it, I reached for the lock. I hate that I do that. He moved over to the trashcan to my right and began the process again, and once finished, walked away. Wes finished filling up the tank and got back into the car.

"The homeless are better stewards of the environment." I said.

"Why's that?"

"They recycle."

This is a good example of "shifting"- finding a new and beautiful ways of looking at situations. Beautiful.

homeless people should just stop being lazy. The statistics prove it. Just look at his non-biased CNN poll:

In your opinion, are homeless people lazy?

Results:
100% said yes
0% said no

This is irrefutable proof that homeless people are lazy.
