I always make it a habit to check all my social media websites for the latest trend or viral video in pop culture but today I was completely caught off guard by what I came across. If you type in Ronal Davis on youtube you will see what I am about to talk about. Ronal Davis has been living on the streets for about a year and half. He opened up to a couple of college students in an interview about his daily struggles and gave us an inside look at the hardships that so many homeless Americans face. Davis talks about the humiliation that comes with begging for money outside a Metro Station with a cup and people ignoring him and worse yet insulting him. He’s heard it all. What really hurts him is when people tell him “go get a job you bum.” Davis explains that if he could he would but it’s easier said then done. He’s not able to present himself adequately because of his clothes or appearance so they brush him off.  Other times they say “give me your number we’ll get back to you.” What people don’t understand is that he’s homeless he doesn’t have a number to reach him at. He’s had no luck finding a job so he’s resorted to begging on the streets. He says that some people that pay him respect and know him well will be kind enough to bring him clothes and sandwiches occasionally. If he doesn’t make enough money in a day’s worth to go down to the local motel and pay 16 dollars for a night then he has to resort to sleeping on the cold park benches and then get woken up by security guards at 5 or 6 in the morning. Davis points out that he seems so many people going to their jobs early in the morning and then going back home in the evening that he wishes he had somewhere to go home to. But he has no home. His story was truly hert wrenching because often times people judge homeless people and think that they are strong able bodies who can work and although often true people don’t trust them enough to give them a job. There is definitely something very wrong with our society. We should stop judging other people because god knows we are not perfect. Next time you see someone asking for a little bit of pocket change just think of the act of kindness you are making towards that person, and who knows you might be the person who gives them just enough money to be able to sleep in a warm bed. Please people let’s not forget that they are human beings too! Let’s be kind to one another.
