This. There are larger problems in this country that need our vehement energy and focus.
Let's rally for the changes that need to happen and stop shaming people for getting help with something that may still be a very real struggle in their lives.
Not gonna lie, I do have a biased tilt to this topic since I too have student loans, but... hate is not the answer to people getting help in this one area.
There are other major areas of life where the debt incrued was involuntary, like medical bills for instance.
One can argue that a person's health in a percentage of instances can be avoided as well but there are always extenuating circumstances where debt is something that has been a trapdoor and an unfortunate problem we face in America.
Effort is absolutely necessary to mitigate as much of our lives as we can.
There are arguments for both sides of each viewpoint, that ultimately fractures and segments to so many other variations of each individuals reality.
We need more effort, compassion, self control, and helping our fellow man amongst a myriad of other necessary means to fix such a broken and shattered way of living that we face in America.
So, before you unload your pent up opinion and strongly worded arguments; for or against each side of this topic, let's remember to be civil about it.
I'm not going to use this platform to tell anyone to change how they feel about our boiling point issues that will need resolution with a mass effort to achieve the change we need to see.
But there is always at least one right way to go about things.
Choose how you wish to live your life and how you share those personal convictions.
Our society has failed to grow in the direction of respectful debating that results in both parties being heard and leaving each with something to consider. Whether or not change ensues.
At least with respectful, yet passionate, debate each person has the opportunity to hear what their opposite is saying.
Anyway, I'm sure there are other viewpoints waiting to weigh in. In which case, I shall step down from my respectful, yet passionate soap box of a debate and bid you a see you later.
I would love to hear your responses in the comments below.
Until next time,
Nicole.
