Coming Home to Apathy

I was going to write an essay tonight about the Homelessness Forum I attended this evening. The evening was lovely - 800 people in a grand old church listening to the Mayors of three cities - Victoria, Medicine Hat, Alberta and Eugene, Oregon discuss the challenges they have encountered. Solutions were entertained for housing for those without homes or the resources to get one.

But, I’m tired tonight so I’m just home from work, door locked with my feet up on my sofa while the dishwasher cleans up my dishes for me. Television is my companion - enjoyable and predictable. 

“People can be so apathetic. They continue to ignore the real people 

trapped in poverty and homelessness. It’s almost maddening.”

~ Daphne Zuniga
