Okay, so I live in a nice part of Orange County.  The houses around me are somewhere around $500-700k and I am in some nice apartments.  But it blew me away tonight to see the regulars doing their nightly dumpster dive.  But the thing is, I am pretty sure they are competing… There is a group that does it early in the morning, and the other group just switched to late at night.  I am just absolutely blown away by this– saddened and awakened.  I mean, I just got back from Mexico, and they were doing the same thing.

Its everywhere, the poverty, the necessity to have more, the inability to complete desires, etc.  Sometimes its a disease that infects our heart, and sometimes it is a lifetime barrier that we have to live with and may never get out of.

Regardless, take heart and help when needed.  Maybe save your cans in a bag and give it to them when you see them without acknowledging that you want to help.  It take a lot to do that, a lot of dignity is swallowed.  I just thought that it was interesting that with all of these nice cars and whatnot, there is still a need :D
