Days like this

How can people be so ignorant about things in life? I understand we are in hard times right now as a county and as individuals, but when it comes to someone you are suppose to love, how can people just disreguard them? If something becomes too hard for someone to handle on their own, why don't they sit down with the other half of the people to discuss how to make it easier instead of just changing things on their own? It's days like this that I wonder if I can manage to be bite my tongue when I have nothing nice to say.
