For some, a cardboard box is shelter ... For some, newspaper is warmth ...



I was driving the other day through the streets of Beverly Hills and was thinking to myself that how frustrating this culture is that the more "prestige" you have, the more you will be judged differently ...

In fact in a culture that we live in, the more expensive car that you drive ... The bigger house that you own ... and the more income that you make every month, will bring you more "prestige" and thus more "social respect" in the society ...

Driving through the streets of Beverly Hills with its crazy expensive boutiques, restaurants, hotels ... with all the expensive cars in the streets and mansions to live in... I was thinking when we are going to understand the difficulties and challenges of the children suffering from poverty, hunger, maladies and wars?

Driving in the streets of the Beverly Hills ... I was just thinking about how much diverted we have become from the beautiful virtue of the "equality" and "equal human rights for all the humans" ...

Driving through the "prestigious" streets of Beverly Hills and later watching all the homeless sleeping on the streets in Downtown Los Angeles ...
