Homeless (5-minute Freewrite)
Ever imagine yourself being homeless? I do. Many times. Every single time I see homeless people around; whether under the bridge, under the flyover, outside a shop, at the bus stop, at the mall's bench, my heart feels for them.
Some of them are harmless, a few are aggressive, and a handful of them are nearly mentally unsound.
I tried to put myself in their shoes and somehow I just could not put the pieces together.
Like what happened to them? What are their stories? Behind the solemn eyes, what are they thinking? How about the aggressive ones, do they actually need help by shunning people away?
I have this dream to build home for the homeless but I am clueless how to help them. Because I also want to help them in a way that they can help themselves in the future, at least see them rise up to be wholesome. That will need a lot of counselling and healing session, isn't it? But I can't do much now as I am tied down at home to raise up my kids and one with health condition which requires alot from me.
Maybe in the future when I reach my 60's. And by then I must have alot of money and knowledge and heart to do so. Cheers ~ ❤
Thank you for reading my thoughts on life - specifically the homeless. I love the slogan "Homeless people do not need pity, they need help" for the Homeless Awareness Campaign.

You always have a good heart. :) I've had those questions myself. Unfortunately, I can't help them alone. I definitely agree with you that maybe in the future, I'd be able to help them if I had tons of money. ^^
Yes maybe in the future we can ;) thank you @dawnsheree

Future philanthropist in the making. Building homes for the homeless is an interesting proposition which I am very much interested in. Now you mention it, I wanna do a survey on how affordable should an affordable house.
Yes I really want to build homes for the homeless but need to have manpower to help them too. Some of them are real hurtful people.
Yes, some really need it especially in the rural. Through @archisteem I want to set up an open source project for this purpose as well. Maybe we can explore where and who are the ones need help.
I love your spirit! I feel the same, I do my best to help some I could. Sometimes it looks like an endless task.. They're just everywhere, it saddens my heart.
Yes it does look endless. Perhaps we cant save everyone but better than save no one.
Exactly.. We do what we can!
