I am not sure when I started to look at people and think about them when they were babies. I think it must have been soon after I had a baby of my own.
It’s a habit I still can’t shake – I look at people on the street, on TV, in the supermarket and think that once they were babies too. Once they were innocent and pure and had cheeks that you wanted to pinch and cute little thigh and elbow dimples. I can almost smell their newborn odour.
I thought about Osama Bin Laden like this as I watched the news reports that he had been killed, I think about Tony Abbott like this when I see him shouting hate filled policies from behind a podium, I think it when I see mega stars like Katie Perry and Bruno Mars and Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence, the Pope, I think about how once we were all babies when I see the woman behind the counter at the supermarket, the guy selling lottery tickets at the newsagent, the woman pushing her pram down the street, the man directing the traffic beside the road works.
It’s humbling, and important, to realise that we all start the same way and will all, inevitably, end the same way.
You can literally sense this energetic shift of awareness-energy coming down from your head, down into your body. super generic viagra http://deeprootsmag.org/2017/01/15/retrospectives-of-the-year-2016/ Now the mixture mechanically separated into different units online sales viagra called slugs. Relatively to surgery or penis enlargement pills, it’s very effective with zero side effects or unsafe components generic viagra no prescription which could cause the body harm. So as the muscles in the corpus cavernosum uk generic cialis become relaxed the blood vessels attached to them begin to widen.
It’s the shit that happens along the way that changes it all, the homes we are brought up in, the choices we make, the experiences that befall us, the opportunities that are provided to us.
But none of that makes us any less human.
Watch this hugely thought provoking video from New York Rescue Mission and next time you see somebody on the street – remember you’re really not that different at all.
This is a little along the lines of what I wrote a couple of weeks ago {http://www.kellyexeter.com.au/invisible/}
I am not sure when I changed my thinking on homeless people because I used to walk on right by and make them invisible too. But I think it’s really important that we don’t do that.
I think this experiment in the video did set people up to fail a bit (because most of the ‘homeless’ people’s head and faces were covered and really, most people could look right at them and still not see a family member because it’s so out of context) … but the message is still really important.
Long time to reply sorry – I think the video was set up of course but it’s very indicative of how people behave. My brother-in-law looks a bot homeless at times and I see the way people avoid him. It’s heartbreaking. Everybody is somebody’s son or daughter. xx
Made me cry. I hate what we have done with the world and things like this make me hate it even more. No one should be invisible, no one should be alone. We need to make small changes like this in our own worlds, seeing others differently in a non-judgmental way and simply acknowledge them. A smile, a nod of the head. Acknowledgment.
Exactly. The change begins with us xx
