or perhaps a lack of any certainty. homeless people cannot be certain of when they will get their next meal, if they will be safe, where they will sleep. is it any wonder that after a history of poverty they don't trust an apple to fill their belly or a stranger to be kind?
the question isn't what's wrong with them, but what the fuck is wrong with our society the we don't care enough to give them the tools and opportunities to succeed?
The movie "Trading Places" comes to mind. How long would it take for the average person, if their circumstances were drastically altered, to start taking on a homeless mindset?
That's brilliant, and probably deserves an entire post on it's own! Trading Places, of course! Why oh why didn't I think of that..? Thanks so much for this effective illustration 😍 I agree 100% 😊
