We see homeless people every day and somehow we keep ignoring them since we are too busy competing in the rat race.
People never stop and think about how these people ended up without an address and how they manage to survive for so long. We fail to realize they are the real survivors of our modern times and they manage to subsist even when all odds are against them.
More surprisingly, some of the people you interact with on a daily basis are homeless and there’s nothing to give it away. They look just like you and me and they are functioning members of society without having a place of their own.
If you have the chance to volunteer for a homeless aid organization and if you spend some time with those without an address, you will learn things you never imagined.
