It's not about just handing out money or not... there is a lot more to it. People get stuck in a system that is hard to get out of. I am not yet sure what I can do to truly help. Perhaps meeting the people would be a good start. Anyone want to join? (in response to Adam) That’s what I’m saying. It’s not about just handing out money or not… there is a lot more to it.

Are some things more beautiful in the peripheral? Sometimes, when we scrutinize and stare at something, we break it down and notice all of its flaws and weaknesses. Sometimes a passing glance can imply beauty, which is ruined when seen in full light. Isn't implied beauty better than no beauty at all? I don't know how/if that applies to homelessness, but it is something to think about. Here’s a question. Are some things more beautiful in the peripheral?

Because to make the issue about whether or not you give a guy on the sidewalk spare change or not is to tragically trivialize it. However, good call on eyeballs. Those things is messed up!!
