Why...

Why?

The question that parents cringe at. (I know I do sometimes)

But, today I was thinking a whole lot of why questions myself. I am lucky enough to have my awesome partner around to listen patiently to me and discuss. So we did...

I wanted to know...

Why everyone doesn't have a home?
Why everyone doesn't have food?
Why are people discriminated against?
Why attending state school means I have $50,000 in debt for a bachelors degree?
Why, why, why....

It occurs to me that when I answer them all, the answer sucks... It sucks so much that I don't think sucks us exactly adequate to describe it.

So here is what I come up with.

Why doesn't everyone have a home?
       Because we as a society have said that you only deserve a home if you have money to buy one. So the people who don't have a home because they don't deserve it? So a human... A mother, father, daughter, son, grandfather, or grandmother doesn't deserve a home... Seriously? 

Why doesn't everyone have food?
       Just insert food for home from the above statement... And again... Seriously?

Why are people discriminated against?
       I seriously thought that we were past that. I don't understand why this is a thing. When did we forget that everyone is created equal.  Or did we just decide that everyone is equal except for the ones that aren't. I totally encourage you to say that out loud if you struggle with that... See how it really sounds.

Why attending state school means I have $50,000 in debt for a bachelors degree?
     That seems trivial in comparison to the other questions, but this is where our conversation today took us. Please explain to me why state school isn't free here. Please explain to me why to further my career I have to accumulate a car and a half worth of debt?

These are questions I would love to have answered, or maybe just have other people's opinions on. Because things need to change and I have no idea how to change them...
