Where Is the Love?

Well, it is definitely not in Berkley, California. No matter where poor Sandy goes, she just cannot get a break. Even the church will not help her out. One would think that a church should be the most helpful when it comes to people in similar situations. After being charged with trespassing for sleeping in a church, Sandy really has no one else to turn to. Sandy is also forced to sleep on the sidewalk because it is illegal to sleep in your car. Why is sleeping in one's car such a bad thing? That person is not bothering anyone. Plus, one would think seeing someone sleep on the sidewalk is worse than someone sleeping in a car. It is a shame that most people only care about themselves. People who have something in life tend to look down own those who have nothing. They see these struggling people as lesser than themselves, but who really is the least humane? If a person claims they have any type of humility, then they should feel like they need to help out some type of cause. Those who claim they are humble but do nothing should really be the ones that are looked down upon. One truly experiences the real world when they are homeless. According to these videos, it seems that many homeless people can go on to do great things if someone just gives them the opportunity. Unfortunately, the world turns their backs on these people. Some people even think that people are homeless because it was their choice to be or they blame the homeless person for making a wrong decision in their lives. What happens when they have done all they can to get a better life and nothing comes out of it? Who is to blame then? What if the situation was reversed? Sandy has it especially hard since she is an older woman. Dangerous people see older women as easier targets, therefore, they are preyed on more at night. The shelters are full and Sandy does not qualify for any type of government income. If the world only meant it when it said all men and women are created equal, the world would most likely be a much better place. More needs to be done for those in need. Who are you to judge if you do nothing?
