Photos of the millennium (so far...)

             Three young women from the New York Fashion Week pose next to a homeless man


All I seem to see anymore is people focused more on them selfies and things that only affect them, and looking down or ignore others who aren’t on their “level”. People tend to forget about the high % of homeless people we have in our country. And this photo 100% shows how most privileged people view the homeless. The fact that you can tell these girls went out of their way to take this photo, with no sympathy for the homeless man next to them, more than likely making petty jokes as they walk away to finish out there glamorous week. People who are privileged and have things in life need to understand not everyone has those opportunity to have the same. Many of those people there have no idea what it’s like to have nothing, and there for have no feelings for anyone but themselves. Now people are even putting up spikes around business in larger cities to keep the homeless away. Parks are having gates around them. How about use that money to improve the few homeless shelters we have. And a lot of the time the people can only stay in a home for a day if any because they are so overfilled with people.  Knowing a close family friend who was homeless at one time, and hearing about how they were treated is disusing, and even the lack of care in the short stay they are allowed in the homeless shelter. The homeless shouldn't be ignore or looked down on, we don't know their situation in life, and we should learn to understand and want to help

  1. I agree--I have no idea what a person might be going through and it's not my place to decide who is worthy of being helped. I try to show my son that by giving money to people we see asking for help even if I sometimes have secret doubts about their motives/needs.
