Have you ever sat down and from a distance, watched a homeless person asking for money? It’s one of the most interesting sights you can find in our culture…, most people walking by the bum will lock their face towards the ground or horizon trying to avoid eye contact at all cost with the hobo and ignore them completely, the speed of their steps will increase, some even go to the length of pulling out their mobile and pretend having a conversation…the ones who give money will quickly throw in a coin and walk away without much thought, nobody sat down with the homeless woman (in my case), took her hand into their own and asked her story of how she ended up there or tried to get get to know her more.
Why? It’s too much…, we have enough problems of our own to have to solve and worry about other strangers, because there is just too many horrible injustices in the world happening and we can’t cope with having to be aware of all of them, we feel helpless and overwhelmed, so it’s easier to switch off…to avoid those things, to only think of our own and become ignorant to everything else, because ignorance is bliss right? Well so is insensitivity…
