This is a very touching story because there is so much to experience in this story. I love the title, it's awesome, I Can't Forget and I Won't Ignore, it's a very good title for this story.

Thank you for sharing. It is a very wonderful story. These people are just like each one of us: need someone that they can trust, someone that can lead them to a great path, to set an example to them, to give them hope that there is kindness and way out from destructive situation they are in. "Every being in the universe knows right from wrong" but the problem lies in the condition & situation that makes morality less important. I believe solutions would be by providing guidance as follows: 1. Make them believe that world is truly beautiful and give them the understanding that they have a right to be happy just like you deserve to be happy 2. Make them believe in themselves -provide confidence and strength 3. Help them being interested in the best things they can do and the best things other people do 4. Good friends are the best guidance in life 5. Have purpose in life - be a dreamer 6. Live in the moment - be mindful --- these is the hardest part to them because most of these people live in the past and the only way to break free is to face their fears with an open mind 7. Always take time to talk and listen 8. Be kind to them and let them be kind to others.

What a wonderful and heartbreaking experience you had..I applaud you for saying that you don't know how to fix it, but that your mind is committed to wanting to resolve the issue! I feel that if we teach kindness and compassion to children AND adults that we can chip away at homelessness slowly over time and we can succeed as long as we have positive energy towards the people who are victimized by this plague, (which you obviously do!)!! Check out the website for "Seeds of Compassion" it's a 5 day workshop which the Dalai Lama just hosted in Seattle two weeks ago...it's AMAZING and will speak to you and others on how to resolve these issues one kindness and one person at a time, (just how you did)!! Good luck to you!

My eyes are filled with tears. My heart experienced some sort of silence when I felt your feeling. Every drop makes a ocean...let's all do what we can do to uplift the poorest among the poor.

Helping is good. I do it all the time. But it's not enough. Because when you help a needy person (which everyone should do), you only give them a meal for that one day. We need to do more.

The cure, I believe, is you. The problem only seems massive because you're going at it alone. If only more people were like you, willing to help out another in need, willing to share of themselves -- that would bring about the eradication of poverty. Be it material poverty, or poverty of the soul.

A wonderfully told story. You are not alone. I believe that a 'cure' for poverty is not anything difficult to think up. I think you experienced the 'cure' when you were helping those in need. The feeling that you can make a difference and wanting to make a difference is, possibly, what is the answer to the question of 'how can we end poverty'. To make people realise that their individual contribution is as vital as to those in need as any one else's will surely result in less talk and more action. Best wishes to you. Keep Smiling.
