Driving with my dad to Nando's late last week I saw these homeless people setting up their sleeping places on the side of McDonald's where there was light to be safe from any harm.
when I approached these people and asked them why they stay on the street this was their response.
"we were evicted from our homes from police by force to build new houses in the area we were promised a new home but after a few months we were denied that opportunity and told to leave by Gun point by police this was 6 years ago."
"we stay in front or the side of big buildings to protect ourselves from the weather and people who will want to do us harm since many street children and baggers have been killed in this year I've witness 3 deaths so far I've escaped many times from these guys and had to relocate to new areas like these."
Personally I feel ashamed of our Government for doing these cruel and inhumane acts it brings our countries morality down and other countries laugh at us and think we are a bunch of savages, we should start caring for the poor not feeding them it just makes them dependent on you.
If we as a nation want to change the perception of others on our country we should start by training these people give them skills to help themselves survive and make income to feed and clothe themselves.
It was said to me many years ago by a man with immense knowledge that to treat the next person with respect shows that you respect yourself this blog is made to reach the minds of the ignorant to enlighten their ways of treating and showing some remorse towards those that have nothing to lose but their lives.
imagine your grandparent staying on these dangerous streets alone with no one to protect him you would help wouldn't you so why can't we help those that are not even our relatives but our elders or not even our own blood.
By helping others to get on their feet, to get them out of their poverty and difficult situation's you are not doing to please others you are doing it to show that you have been taught humility.
That shows you are human being human doesn't mean being perfect it means you have emotional strength to look at a person that is less fortunate and put him on the same level as you and show them you care.
here are a few images of how people are living in the world:

Well even people like Steve Jobs(CEO of Apple), Colonel sander(Owner of KFC),D.Phils.(talk show host and owner of Dr. Phil show) and Jennifer Lopez these rich and famous people all started out broke but because of the confidence and care they had in themselves they became successful in life not because their parents had a lot of money they lived poor lifestyles lived in bus stations and stayed in their cars.
The lessons from these people should inspire the youth of today to never give up there is always a way no matter how hard life hits you stay positive.
"the sky is not the limit you are the only thing that stands between your destiny and your success if you let go of what people think and say it will make you a very strong individual on your own.
Don't worry about money and friends think about your passion and that God loves you no matter what people think about you remember this God promised he would never leave nor forsake you.
