homelessness and not homelessness Wednesday

a comment to Mi Casa Speaks which I wrote a wee back:

"It’s hard to change your brain into thinking of people who live outdoors as ‘people’ after being inundated with the ideology that those outside are animals. Maybe, some living outside come to believe that they are animals and lose their spirit, their voice. Even those who live indoors have similar battles of self-depreciation. It seems like it can be a vicious circle of hurt. Simply because of fear of the different, the unknown. It all seems to often be the human condition of existence. Forgiveness of self and those who do harm (intended or otherwise) is a jagged mountain to beat."


An urban outdoorsman shared his observations of responses/reactions to people of the street from people of the indoor-life. read it for yourself via the Mi Casa Speaks link.
