RE: Today, a stranger touched my life...

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago (edited)

We have a program on over here on SBS called Filthy Rich and Homeless- putting some of Australia's richest out on the streets so they could feel what it was like to be in the shoes of the homeless (though really, how could anyone ever know what it is like to have all of that pain and the struggles with life that made them become homeless..) anyway, SBS also broadcast a live Q&A with some of the participants with the viewing audience tweeting in live and there was one tweet that really struck a nerve for me as it rings so true for all of us- and that was we are all just an illness or job loss away from becoming homeless.

Good on you Sam for taking the time to stop and listen to his story.

Yes!!! I actually paraphrased that in one of my reply comments as I have heard it a few times in my life! It just shows how vulnerable we all actually are within the microcosm of our own lives. !PIZZA

Yes that's exactly right and so many people don't even consider just how unstable their 'stable' lives really are.

That's a phrase that is on a loop in my head- it makes me far more considerate and thoughtful about my life and everything around it.
