“I often wonder who I am and where is my country and where do I belong and why was I ever born at all.”

“Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”

This is more common than you may think. Many urban areas that have high homeless populations are using “defensive architecture” more and more. Sloped and divided benches to keep the homeless from sleeping on them. Spikes placed in sheltered areas where they tend to stay. City planners argue they are only trying to relocate the homeless, pushing them to see out shelters and homeless centers. But that rings hollow. They just want them out of sight. I don’t have a simple, easy solution. But this isn’t it. Making things harder for the homeless does not help them.

They complain about spending money to help poor people.
