When the law restricts itself

The government comes out with 101 rules to help the less fortunate and the needy. In every society, the obvious poorest will benefit from the 101 rules.

But what about those who are caught in between?
When you are penniless, have no home and no children, the societies’s law are all out to help you.
What if you are penniless, have no home but have children who refuse to support you? The society’s 101 rules cannot help you

So when such cases are penniless and have no home, what can they live on or accomodate in?
What if you are left with minimal savings, have a home but your children refuse to support you? The society’s 101 rules also cannot help you

So when such cases are met with a crisis, who can you turn to? The society’s 101 rules cannot help you

Are rules to help or to restrict? If rules are to help, who are they helping? If it is to restrict, who are they restricting? If you need help, who will determined what kind of help is genuine?

When you are caught in an ‘in between’ situation, where can you go for help?

Many elderly are facing this sitution now. They are living with bare essentials and do not have the luxury of strong financial support from children. Some do not even have 3 meals a day. They are contented with little because they only have little.

Some yearn for companionship but have poor family dynamics. They would depend on themselves or are lucky when some kind stranger would come and lend a helping hand.

You can be that kind stranger
