Money & The Homeless

Homeless

In this blog i am looking at how i suppressed my reaction when i saw the homeless in the subway, forgiving myself for suppressing my reaction to stress when i see them having no provisions for basic needs, and opening the door for correction

Forgiving Myself

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to suppress my reaction to stress  - seeing the homeless in the subway -

1 With dirty clothes - not having clean clothes that they can use 

2 With no water to clean their body and their clothes

3 With no money to buy food when they are hungry

4 Having to beg for food and not sure they can get any from passers by -so having to deal with starvation

5 Feeling cold and wet (during winter) because they do not have jumpers to keep their body warm

6 Sleeping on the train seats without pillows to give comfort to their head

7 They do not have a home to go to where they can sit and eat nutritious meals

8 They do not have basic things they need to survive

Commitment

When and as i see myself suppressing my reaction to stress when i see the homeless in the subway having no provisions to get their basic necessities, i stop - i breathe. 

I realize this suppression of my reaction is to make it look normal and pretend they do not exist - when it really isn't normal and the fact is - they do exist. 

Poverty should not exist because the earth gave all of us resources equally

I commit myself to be here as breath

I commit myself to stand for what is best for all and see how equal money for all can be a reality - starting with the introduction of a Universal Basic Income
