Ray of hope among chaos

I thought this would be a typical Avalon topic. In the social experiment, the guy gets more money while acting like a drug addict rather than a homeless father. He still bumps into a woman with a big heart in the end. There are still good people out there who do care.

Can you imagine if Yeshua sat there with a child, and witnessed the heartless shoppers passing them like gum on the street?
Wow. Very "I" opening.

the sad thing is, Yeshua did sit there and did experience this, yet he still had the wisdom to see past it.

He knew he was beyond the body and he taught forgiveness at the same time. We can easily become resentful towards humanity nowadays.

A drug addict is obviously unable to work and earn a living.. whyle I don't really get "homeless father" story? If he's mentally and physically healthy - what is he doing on the street begging? Why not earning money decently and by that, providing a good and positive example for his child?
The only thing this child can learn from him is how to accomplish the victim mentality..

Call me crazy, but I think it sort of shows how much people have a strong desire to appreciate honesty; which means people are yearning for honesty in this world full of lies. It would seem more likely a beggar would spend his money on drugs and alcohol, the other part looked kinda looked like some druggie used his baby sister (niece, whatever) to try get money for more drugs ... why does he have that crazy "gangsta" hoodie?

Or perhaps it only goes to show that people who themselves do drugs / alcohol, are much more giving people than those who do not? Or perhaps the people "relating" to each set were from a different age group, and one age group is less selfish (this appeared to possibly be the case to me)? I am not going to read into this one too much.

Here is one of my own experiences ...

You wouldn't know the story behind the beggar when you come across him/her. Would you? I think the main observation is seeing young people giving the drug addict money and saying get high while the man with the child gets ignored.

This is a valid point. It reminds me of the beggars in Thailand who drug babies and put them in the laps of beggars. It's an organised criminal institution. I'd use intuition to discriminate though.

Sure you're right. I don't think it's that simple.. and hey, there is a story behind a drug addict guy aswell..
The main observation for me is seeing if father is capable of working. Sometimes I even ask people why are they begging and try to help by talking to them.
