Tourists in a foreign city. Spending money, sightseeing and enjoying their time.
We've all been like this once.
Is there also enough space for thoughts about all those Big City-Troubles?
Having your eyes closed for things you don't want to see is easy. But if things continue like this, we will have stay blind in the future.

The bigger the city, the bigger the imbalance, and the difference gets bigger and bigger.
People with full, but closed, purses pass people with empty open hands.

Saw this man laying on the street for 2 whole days in the streets of Prague. And probably he's still there.

Hope you like it.

Thanks again to *passacaglia :)

regards

Not bad, a DD... really didn't think that this would happen.
Thanks

Daily Deviation

A social problem: Are we emotionally dulled, have we seen too much misery. How often do we see a situation like Release by =tendence and chose to see nothing? ( Suggested by `garrit and Featured by `Ghouldaddy )

I walked down this path about the same time you did and saw him. There was another guy with a rat as well.

Oh man.. This reminds me of a few weeks ago..
In Egypt there are quite a few beggers and my friend always tells me to ignore them because 95% of them are phonies..

But this one old woman was sitting in the middle of downtown Cairo with her medication (or what was left of it) in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.. so I paid her.

Human suffering.. captivates me and haunts me all at once.

Awesome work. There's so much in it... so much I love.

I see this very often. When I'm in Frankfurt in example or when I was in Duesseldorf. In every corner they are and everytime I saw people like him I think about giving money or not. The first moment I want to but the next there's something in my mind which doesn't want to. It's sad and I'm ashamed that I'm a person like the many other ones who're looking away if there's a beggar.

But the problem is: That if you give all the beggars you see in a town like Frankfurt, you would be a beggar, too. Cruel and unfair, yes.
