One day, in a divorce, I almost was homeless myself. If an aunt would not have taken me in, I would have been in real trouble. And I am a higher educated person, that was not unemployed for longer than a month in 20 years or so. This does not only happen with lazy people that are drug or alcohol addicted. Hence I remember one day, it could have been me.
When I was in an art school, we got an assignment to depict our country, Japan, by a single piece of photograph. While many chose straight some traditional buildings for their motif, I went to a homeless community and asked them to let me take some pictures, telling them like I wanted to see our society through their eyes. Not all of them but some gladly showed me their domicile and their daily life. I was also invited their parties and had fun. There were nothing insightful but I could feel that people do exist outside the world which we call society.
When I was in Vancouver, I was working at a record store. The owner let homeless people help the preparation for opening/closings stores, which were quite tough labor, and gave them some cash --this was illegal, by the way--. I got along with some of them, and after closing the store, we once in a while went to a park together and drunk, smoke, did whatever we enjoyed. Some were alcoholic, some were suffering from mental illness, but as I see, the guys I met were all normal good people.
I feel I want to kill the mayor of the city.
I feel that i'm in a great gift from god but i still don't know how great it is !!!
Thank u allah
All prises to allah .
I would try my best to help them because I feel so sorry for them. :( If the one is old,I would think how
could I feel if they are my family? I can't tolerate seeing them like this. :(
