Sometimes we people do good things...but sometimes.
Belgium - Brussels : Cardboard tents are given to homeless people
Today I read a great blog writing from @arbitrarykitten.
It was about how our perspectives shape our behaviours.
This is the link of the full article and I really recommend, it is a good read.
Inside this article there was a story written by her last summer.
For the ones who are lazy enough to read the full article I copy and paste it.
This made me ashamed of being a member of human kind.
Checking the newspapers, I saw the following news in BBC.
These tents are produced by a local job rehabilitation center and the assembly was done in Lantin Prison workshop.
The project is called Orig-Ami which stands for Original , Friend but also the name of a Japanese paper folding art.
This is a good name since these tents are made from cardboard and can be folded to carry in a backpack.
Why cardboard ? 2 reasons :
- Tents are not allowed by law in Brussel streets
- Homeless people refuse to go to dormitories allocated to them because pets are no allowed...
Living all these time on the street, bearing the humiliating and pityfull looks in peoples eyes, these people refuse to leave their best friends for the comfort of a warm house.
This melts my heart...
These tents, if they are adopted by the homeless will be produced at a quantity of several hundereds for next year.
The tents are demonstrated to public on Friday with association of a charity organization l'Appel-du-Coeur which also supplies backpacks and food for homeless people.
Sometimes we people do good things...but sometimes.
Stay positive.

Thank goodness that there is a growing shift in mass consciousness underway.
The system that is corrupt at all levels will be challenged further and the people will prevail as folks wake up to the reality that we are one and there but for the grace of God...
Here, on a positive note, is one of my recent posts:
I wish you well.

Thank you for your comment @ldacey-laforge .
I believe that there is a critical mass for the societies to change behaviour.
When the number of the awakened people reach that critical mass, we will proceed to more humanitarian world.
Stay positive.

I agree.

This is really heart warming !! While in San Francisco government is installing spikes on blocks where homeless sleep and using robots to keep homeless off the street :( when i saw the video of police taking away blankets from homeless people during -5°C weather at night, I knew san Francisco is a hell hole! Really humanity has died there.
Most of the world is a hell hole. There is generally no problem with individual people. They can distinguish right or wrong. When they become crowds something happens and the humanity gets lost...
anyway...stay positive my friend...

It still begs the question- is this the best we can do?
I am a homeless advocate. I'm not sure if you read my story I had to write that one with a little bit of humor, because, well... you'll see :)
I also covered the Well Fargo donation for the Vets to have tiny plastic houses...
But the way I look at it, a nation, a people are only as strong and good as the weakest citizens, so again I ask, is this the best we can do?
I have read your story and until I read the comments, I was thinking "what an imagination"... Then I learned.
No,this is not the best we can do but the thing is for most of the people like the U2 song..."i would join the movement if there was one I could believe in..."
The helping system, at least where I live is so much corrupted that like the first comment in your post, people are directly thinking that you are trying to make benefit over others misery.
We don't believe because of a percentage of rotten apples in the system.
If the full transpaency can be achieved and people can reach unmanipulated results without effort and manipulation we can do more.
Even then, some rotten apple will arise and put a dirt on this pure clean movement and you will have to defend yourself.
And people, since they have tendency to believe in negative than positive, at any doubt they will leave the cause.
I hated myself on this comment...I gave the reasons why it will not work rather than how it will work...
But the thing is I have no solution in my mind how it will work...do you ?
Again U2 is singing in my head...
Whatever...stay positive.
