Any sort of simplicity in life seems to have been eradicated by this endlessly stupid society we've all constructed. I can't help but think that we might be better off doing away with the majority of the human population and reverting to hunter-gatherer tribes.

Recently, I ran into a spot of trouble with a certain friend of mine. I wrote some shitty, rushed topic about it as the event was still in motion, and the end result seems to be rather different than what I had originally thought. At first I thought this so called friend of mine had tried to steal $2000 from my bank account, only to later find out that it was from my parents' account. At a first glance, this is basically the defnition of an ingrate. We took him into our home, fed him every day, let him do whatever he wanted for a week and a half before he moved on, then he tried to rob us as a final act. Anger is the initial raction, but add desperation to the mix and it becomes pity.

I was unaware that he had been ostracized from his entire family. He got into some sort of argument with his parents and they basically threw him out on the street with no means of survival. You would think that there might be some sort of community support group he could go to in this situation, but it appears that you're more fortunate to be a dog or cat if homeless than an actual person. After drifting around between various places or residence, I was the next person on the list. No money or belongings to his name, he needed at least some base amount of financial security, whether or not it was to be acquired by less than honest means.

So now I'm left with three options:

1. Kick him out into the street to die
2. Go through with the legal action that we initially started and send him to jail
3. Try and get his parents to take him back

Total abandonment and damnation to hell seem to be a bit extreme, but the last option proves problematic as well. His father is supposedly in Norway, and his mother proves to be incredibly difficult to contact. She promised to retreive him provided that he acquires a job with which to support himself, but we've not heard from her beyond the initial conversation two days ago. I'm not considering the first two options unless he kills someone for some reason. Money isn't real, I'll wait for some real evil to be done before I get all draconian on his ass.

But whatever. It's up to him what he does now. I'll let him stay here again until he can contact his mother, because I'm a good person. Plus, it's hilarious how awkward it was eating dinner with him after we'd sent the cops after him. SILLY BEN, WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING?
