Beggars – these people are so fascinating. To ask passing strangers for money must be such a conquest. We choose to ignore them, to walk by in a wide berth or in some cases dropping a coin in their hat or paper cup.

There is a personal boundary between them and us. I think no one from us ever stopped to speak to these very fascinating and interesting people. We are probably afraid to speak with them because we think we have nothing in common with these people but they had a real life before living on the street and beg to survive. I spoke to them and THE REASON WHY which led to their current situations astonished me.
