I believe that.

Every person

should experience this,

Because people take everything

for granted in life.

And I think every person

should experience this

For a few weeks,

'cause people don't appreciate

what they have.

We living in the greatest city

in the world.

It should not be no reason

why so many people

Are homeless

on the streets.

You know, people walk around,

and I look around,

And I see people

in wheelchairs,

And they're sick.

And there's a lot of people

more worse off than I am

Than just homelessness.

I mean, you have

an opportunity right now

To tell a lot of people

What you may have been wanting

to say to them for a long time

Or just the public in general,

society.

What do you have

to say to them?

You know,

you can't say everyone is bad.

We all have something

happen to us.

And if you don't have

a good family or friends

To support you,

then you're in a lot of sh*t.

'cause it's family and friends.

And, you know,

this is life.

When this

first happened to me,

There were four dogs on the street, A dog.

And everyone was

on their cell phone, going,

"I'll take this dog,"

and, "we'll take this dog."

And they all helped the dogs.

They all helped the dogs.

They took the dogs home

So they wouldn't

freeze to death.

And they let me stand there.

- How'd that make you feel?

- You're my brother.

I'm jewish.

I had a rabbi

Who said,

"that's your brother,

"and that's your sister.

"and if you see your brother

or your sister in trouble,

You help them."

If you treasure your own life,

You should treasure

others' lives.

And you should live

with the sensitivity

That you know you have

And, therefore,

that others have.

Find those things that are

universal to us all as humans.

Find those belief systems,

And then

let's experience it.

I think we can find at least

small examples, right,

Where ordinary

human beings can talk

About deeply transformative

experiences.

Well, we just got kicked out

from where we were sleeping.

It's 5:
30

in the morning right now.

It is really,

really cold.

This is just life

on the streets, pretty much.

You know?

We had to move,

so we moved.

And now

we have to get warm,

So I guess we're gonna walk

around and try to stay warm.

How you doing, sir?

I'm homeless right now.

If you could help out

by, you know,

Maybe a doughnut or something,

And I was wondering if you

could help me with some food,

Something hot to drink

or a hot chocolate,

You know, something to eat,

something small,

Even a little piece of bread.

It doesn't have

to be big, just anything.

We just walked up

to a concession stand.

The guy wasn't so willing

to give us any food at first,
