Homeless People

I have an innate desire to change the world, to help people. I wish I could give asylum to all those homeless people. I wish I could feed them all, not only physically but also spiritually. It saddens me to see people that think the issue of homelessness is inconsequential. When in fact, it should be one of the most important issues in America. These homeless people are human beings who have often endure many hardships. Although many of them seem to be completely capable of sustaining themselves, these people have a reason why they are were they are.

We often judge them too hard. When we see a homeless person wearing their hackneyed clothe, we become wary. When someone holds a signs saying, " I need to feed my family, we often think that they are spurious, and they are just trying to lie, so they can get some money for beer. When we see them standing there looking so staid, we think that they are trying to be astute by making us fall into their ruse to get us to give them money. But we think we are even more astute by not falling into the stratagem and ignoring them instead. We are malleable by the image "society" has given us of homeless people, without realizing that there is so much more to homeless people drugs and alcohol. They look so stoic to us, but we never know what's going on in their hearts. We tend to have an inveterate negative image about homeless people. Some people might even identify them as a group of fractious and incorrigible people. They might even see them as rancorous people and others even worst as putrid animals. We see them asking for money, and we disparage them among ourselves, instead of trying to do something to help them.

I lament our lack of modesty that stops us from helping those in need. It saddens me to see how serene we can be even when we hear that our brother screams for our help. We choose to ignore the screams. We never take the time to get to know the story behind the homeless person that we see standing in the corner every day. We never take the time to see beyond the obvious, to see what those people have in their hearts. We don't see the melancholy they are going through or the things they have gone through.

I hope on day we all learn to be more prudent, and help to end homelessness, instead of ignoring the problem. I hope one day Americans have a more comprehensive understanding about the importance of solving this issue.
