Of course, each person is treated differently, and for a multitude
of different reasons, but some of the main reasons are surely related
to how they look, how much money they have, power they control,
and, of course, what they can do for the person who is seeking
their attention.
I would wager that the President of the United States gets way
more attention than John– the homeless guy who hangs around
my neighborhood— even though they both have many things
in common like having emerged from a female’s body, eventually
learned how to walk, have to eat to survive, and sleep for a certain
number of hours.
Now, I’ve never met the President, but I do stop to speak with John
quite often and usually give him some money—anywhere from
a couple of dollars to ten dollars.
Yesterday, when I stopped to speak with him, I made him laugh,
which was probably one of the few times I was able to do so.
He asked me if I lived close by, and I answered, “I’m not going
to tell you that ‘casue for all I know you could be FBI.”
While I was glad to have made him laugh, I also felt a bit sad
to see he was missing several teeth in the front.
Before I left, I gave him ten dollars and urged him to get something
to eat.
Whether he actually did, I have no idea. . .
