~ FOUND IN EVERY CITY OF THE WORLD ~
I've visited some of the largest cities of the world, including Auckland,
I've visited some of the largest cities of the world, including Auckland,
and all have their extremely poor & homeless along the streets,
especially the main streets where a lot of public foot~traffic passes by & also main thoroughfares,
such as bus & railway stations & airports etc.
such as bus & railway stations & airports etc.
It is so sad & one feels so pitiless just seeing them as you pass by.
I think if most people who have homes gave just a little, even a dollar or two,
these homeless waifs & strays could buy some food with some pride using this money.

I have read some of their stories as these people manage to get back into our world, & really,
often the only difference between them & ourselves can be simple (but imperative) things
such as a divorce or losing a job. Could be us at anytime.
Then, could also be the aftermath of a natural disaster such as
Christchurch's earthquakes,
Queensland's floods 1 year ago, our bush fires & severe cyclones.

For sure, Auckland's suburbs such as Grey Lynn, near our flash apartment block,
lay the homeless (on a pitiful rug or bit of foam, covered in insulating newspaper)
begging for a little money for food, or whatever.
Surely we can offer just a LITTLE & offer a SMILE to them

~ they are so very, very thankful of even the recognition of your smile.
Then, in oversea's tourist cities, I passed countless 'Mothers with Child' begging for money.
I simply could not pass them, without giving a little in their local currency.
Other members of our tourist group would say that these 'Mothers' begged for an hour or two,
to be replaced by another 'Mother' & sometimes their 'Child' was borrowed
(so therefore personally denying giving any few coins at all).
My answer was, always, if these 'Mothers' had the need to beg at all, they must be needy.
Simple as that.
Also the same applied in China, ~ tourists often stated that the local's leg / feet / hands were cut off,
so they begged for money ~ who are we to judge?
Who are we to dictate to the obvious poor?
~ GIVE A LITTLE ~ GIVE A LOT ~
IT's YOUR KARMA & FATE IN YOUR HANDS, TOWARDS YOUR NEXT WORLD!
