774 Food and flowers

She’s trying to live a better life I think. Difficult when you live surrounded by drugs, crime, casual prostitution, and having to associate with people still involved in them. She texted asking for help, and mentioning, ass she usually does, an extra reason for her difficulty. She could just ask, but she’s used to dealing with social services, and DHSS, and so on, where every request must be supported by a reason, and additional requests require additional reasons. This, I am convinced, leads people to have to create situations whereby they are ‘rewarded’ according to the difficulty of the situation. I have no idea how to change this system, other than a complete demolishment and rebuild in a totally different format. Anyway, this weeks additional reason / grounds for compassion was a murder of a local lady. Hence the flowers. Which even if the story is a complete fabrication, will still cheer the lady up and make her flat more homely, for a while, at least.
