The story of a Man and a street

03/09/2010

Have you ever thought how does it feel living on the streets? Have you done it, at least for a night? I mean actually sleeping on the street, and not because you were drunk but because you actually had no resources and/or no place to go to. Perhaps one night could be interesting, exciting or even a good story to tell about, but imagine for a moment that you actually ended up living on the streets, for whatever the reason, but you are there, trying to find a “warm” place, behind a door, inside a park, or even on the floor of an ATM (in case you are lucky and it is opened).

Well this happens every night, in every country, we all see these people, but sometimes ai feel that we are so used to their presence that either we take them for granted or we just avoid their presence by faking as if they weren’t there…. but they are.

For sure there might be a reason why they ended up there, but please, next time you see one, don’t avoid him or her, no matter what they did, I am sure they never desired to eneded up that way, just like you and me wouldn’t like that to happen to ourselves, so please, think of a way of helping them. Maybe you will think that throwing a coin is something, but actually it is not, because then they get used to begging. Instead, give them food, a shelter, an advice or as simple as an honest smile. Remember that person, if the circumstances were different, could have been you.
