What happens to you when you live in a city with over 20 million people? You stop noticing. You see people begging in the street and when they ask you for money you ignore them. You see people with no arms and no legs, you see people who are disfigured and you just keep on walking. Maybe it's because you can't help all of them, so you don't help any of them.
Today, I saw a well dressed young man. He had on a big traveler’s backpack. He was sitting under a tree on a narrow stretch of sidewalk on my way to the subway. He was just sitting there looking forlorn but everyone noticed him. Everyone stared as they went by. Why does everyone walk by the lady with the dirty little baby, on the same stretch of sidewalk, without even giving her a second glance?
I met my landlord today. He wears pyjamas. :)
