In reply to the discussion: Just a reminder that we are all on the same team and why. [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)32. Thanks for the reminder!
When I was still working in Berkeley there were always the same 3 or 4 homeless people at the stop lights on my way home. They were older so it was obvious no one would ever hire them. I always gave them two dollars every single day. I knew their names and they knew mine. I gave them blankets and clothes too. I did it for years. Their faces would light up when they saw me. I always felt that they felt recognized and were more grateful for that than the money. When youre homeless and old no one looks at you. Its heartbreaking.

I think he knew exactly what he was saying. He had so much hate in his facial expression.
