We Don’t know how lucky we are
Sometimes it very easy for us to forget how fortunate we are, these shots recently walking from Grand Central to my office along 42nd Street I saw these people sleeping on the street.
I know many about dubious about people asking for money on the street and feel it’s a bit of a scam, but for these three to be sleeping overnight on the sidewalks in NYC, to me they have issues of some sort and it is sad to see.
What ever their reason for sleeping on the street, one thing I am sure is it's not fun
But seeing them sleeping on the street does make me appreciate how easy I have life and reminds me to appreciate that
Now when I came up with the title for this post, this song came to me, its a bit of Kiwi ( AKA New Zealand) humour from decades ago, but to this day it still amuses me but that may be just my kiwi sense of humour

Nice post @tattoodjay
Yes we are really lucky, all this misery in our streets, and all these conflicts, people who suffer and who struggle every day for their lives, soon it will not be possible to live normally without worrying about it.
We have to make the big change!!!
Peace
@geemo-from-paris
and such a nice comment very much appreciated
I agree it is getting worse day by day, I have been fortunate to have traveled a lot over the years and seen the hardships some people have to endure after conflict and wars, which although so hard to see has I feel given me a good perspective on life and a wish to do what I can to help, but still to ths day I am shocked to see it in a big city in NY
Peace to you to
tip!
@tattoodjay

It is so sad to see this I'm really fortunate for what i have
Yes it is so sad
Makes one appreciate what we have but also wonder about these people and hope they can see better times
agree with you. we have to be happy what we have.
Yes indeed
Good shots! They hit home.
A photo reply from The Netherlands:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 55mm, ISO1000, f2.8, 1/160s
WOW your shot is very powerful
The way the person is sitting is as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders
Heartbreaking photos. Counting my blessings.
Yes seeing them made me count my blessings as well
This is the same as in Budapest, there are many homelesses in the undergrounds and even the streets. Only one billion HUF would be needed to solve the problem, instead stadiums are being built everywhere in the country, from 15 to 20 billion each. (1USD=250HUF)
Images like these have a way of bringing us back to earth again.
Even thought seeing people begging on the street is a common sight and I know many are scammers, seeing these 3 sleeping there at 6:45 in the morning did make me think and wonder what happened in their lives to lead them to this point
We just have to be aware always of how true blessed we are. I keep doing that every day. Love your post.
Thanks
And yes I try and do the same
Always!
Great photos of sad subject. And a reminder that one should newer forget.
Thanks
And yes we should never forget
