RE: The invisible people

in #life6 years ago

Congratulations! Your post was selected by the @dropahead Curation Team (dCT)

You wrote such a meaningful post! When I came across this kind of person I can't help to wonder what sum of circumstances could have driven this person to this state. Sometimes I have been able to chat with them on the subway (our subway is almost free so even people who live on the streets can take it to go around the city) and they indeed have really interesting stories. From those conversations, I have felt that they are somehow trapped on a loop that doesn't allow to move past some really sad/tough stage in their life. And sadly, a ten minutes nice chat is not enough to figure out a way to help them beyond the next meal...

What impressions do you have when you finish talking with them?

Here too, during winter they take shelter inside the metro. I always see them at metro station Bonaventure when I pass by. Most of them lost their jobs, houses and families, or family members turned their back on them.

It says something about our society, that we let humans die in the street. My feeling is that we should be able to provide a minimum to all, whether or not they are crazy, undeserving, lazy, or just plain unlucky. No one should be forced to sleep outside or go hungry. I have known people with severe mental problems that would have been on the street if their family members had not taken care of them.

I totally agree with you. Every human being has the right to be provided the minimum. People do more for pets than for other human beings - that's the world we live in!
