    I recently learned that my dad used to be a landlord. Problem was, he has a sense of morals, ethics, and empathy. Tennants would be unable to pay rent for one reason or another, but he wouldn’t evict them because he understood that sometimes shits hard. Eventually, he had to sell all his properties to a less scrupulous landlord.

    I feel conflicted with the knowledge that I could have had a better childhood if my dad was a worse person.

      my father is an engineer, government contractor, and Zionist. I wonder sometimes if the Palestinians are paying for my nursing degree right now.

        We do that, all the money goes into an account for him though and he’s aware of it. When he moves out it’s his again.
