Face Of The Stranger.
Through suspiscions and fabrication unseen, the brilliance of the stranger's mind will always shine through. These are the lives of the strangers around you. Admire their lives, and cherish your own.
Fourth stranger of many: Contrary to any doubt you may have, this man is homeless. This photo comes from a gallery of photographs taken to show the world true poverty and those who live in it. I often wonder what the thoughts and feelings of the homeless are. Whether or not they hate the life they live, if they enjoy the freedom, or simply what they want to do for the day. This man has no home, no secure place of being, and probably isn’t treated with half the respect he deserves. But look at his posture. His curiosity. The way he holds himself, like he doesn’t have a care in the world resting on him. Society’s fear of strangers and those who seem to be worse-off than us has led us to not give those who see the world at it’s most realistic and harsh state a chance. The lessons we could learn from an individual like the man above are infinite. We just have to appreciate the forms they come in.
