Hugo's World

As part of my healing process and my everyday meditation I am allowing myself to feel compassion for the pain of others. Our society doesn’t want to see the real face of cities where homeless people live begging for change and attention.

I crossed the common border line few weeks ago when I decided to talk to Randy and spoke with him as an old friend sharing my struggles post separation and scam and he shared his story of how he became homeless which made me feel compassion for another human being and see the story of a pain that typically we don’t wanna listen.

Randy is a unique individual with pros and cons like any of us but most of us are lucky to have a roof to lay down every night when we are tired. This individual chose the streets due to the circumstances of his experience post separation of his last partner and his everyday living struggles.

Next time when we see a homeless around us it may be best to ask ourselves why is the reason that this person became a homeless, perhaps a big loss, sexual abuse, etc.

At the end I believe that we have the answer within us and see ourselves as part of only one human community that despite religion, ethnic background, we are connected with each other and we can feel the pain of others and perhaps next time when we see a homeless we can share some food or just say hi. These individuals live in the streets for a reason, they are in a deeper hole of struggles than us and we should feel compassion and kindness and not trying to cover the sun with one finger and think that they don’t exist.
