Paradise of welfare

Now in the Netherlands, during the last weeks two persons were met who had an incredible story to tell.
They were rather young, strong and talented women.
But both of them were not working a job to make a living.
Both of them were getting a monthly allowance from the Government of the Netherlands.
Enough to live in a nice apartment and have a relatively good and comfortable life.

Now, how can this be?

The first person told the story that she once had a boyfriend.
They split up and went each their own way.
She made a career in the IT-business, made a lot of money but had to work very hard.
Some years later this ex-boyfriend was murdered.
This upset her very much.
So much that she couldn't hold her job anymore.
Too stressed.
Too emotional.
Unable to work, the Government accepted and respected this and as of then she is getting a monthly allowance.
For some years now.
Because she still has mental and emotional problems and therefore unable to work.

The second person worked as a journalist for national television.
Doing well.
Successfull.
At the same time she had a relationship with a man.
But he was abusing her.
Not physically, but almost torturing her mentally.
She stayed in this horror full relationship for seven years.
Until she couldn't anymore.
She suffered a serious mental breakdown.
Became unable to work anymore.
She separated from the boyfriend and for two years now is trying to recuperate and have a normal life again.
Sponsored by the Government of the Netherlands.

This loyalty and humanism of a Government with their citizens is unheard of.
Only in a few countries in the world this is happening.
In oases of welfare.
