I have read this thread and wasnt going to comment but i will. What happened to that decent young man called Banjani. Pleasant company. bright eyed and open to ideas. Your mind has become quickly closed and you seek blame rather than understand causation. Point being you have changed young man. Think about that and you will realise others will also change. Circumstances can change very quickly and many people survive day to day with the fear of homelessness hanging over them and their family. Many on here could lose a job today, not be able to pay rent, buy food or meet financial obligations. They are genuinely a day from being homeless. It happened to Bill and i have talked about it with him, i wont go into his circumstances as its not my place, but Bill was lucky got a break and has done well, many however do not.
We like to think we dont change, but we do, we become different people to what we were based on and how we perceive lifes experiences. It is why radicalisation is such an effective tool. It uses propaganda to alter a persons perceptions of the truth and convinces them that a different reality is the true nature of what they perceive.
Somebody like Bill is within many of us. A wrong turn up a different street and everything changes. Not everyone has Bills character.
Homelessness is a scar on a decent society. It is a national disgrace that we see so many. It is a form of radicalisation that we are encouraged to show no humanity towards them. It is easy to label them all as fitting in certain bands of society such as druggies and its easy because we are told they are druggies and encouraged to believe that to be the case. We are encouraged to see them as the underclass,the dregs of humanity and an embarrassment to society when in fact tomorrow it could be you.
