The Human Experience Page #4

But after talking to him,

you know, he just was kind

And gave us

a few bananas.

You want a banana?

I like it when

they're a little bruised too.

My hand is freezing.

You know why the people

from the outside see us as bad?

Because they're

not living it, man.

They're not experiencing

this sh*t.

They go to starbucks

and buy a coffee for $5.

You know what I mean?

Buy them a doughnut for $3.50.

I can't afford that.

It's honesty.

You know what I mean?

People see

that I'm real, you know?

I mean,

I don't want your money.

Hey, I need something to eat.

# it's the message in the song

that makes you rock on #

# some people go to places

where they don't belong #

# whether wrong or right

So I'm homeless,

and I'm happy.

And a lot of people talk to me.

You know what I'm saying?

I got girls talking to me.

I got old ladies talking to me.

I got all kinds of people talking to me.

You know what I mean?

Because the happiness

is your strength.

You got to come up with something;

you know what I mean?

You got to make it unique,

Because you can easily fall apart,

Mentally, physically,

spiritually.

A lot of times,

people don't believe

That they can

get out the street.

But I believe

that I will be able to get out.

Why is life worth living?

One thing I realized very early

in my medical training

Is that no matter

how bad off a person is...

Handicapped people

with really bad deformities,

Even people in pain...

For everybody, their life

was a treasure to them.

And they wanted us to take care

of them with a tenderness

And a concern

for their good.

Life is worth living

because it just is.

People know that.

People know their own life

is worth living.

Some people get depressed

And they lose the sense

of their life being significant.

But usually, that's because

the part of them

That sustains hope

is broken for the moment.

And if you could

just get them through it,

Most of them would then reaffirm

that their life is worth living.

I talked to a guy who jumped off

the golden gate bridge.

He said, halfway down,

He realized he wished

he hadn't jumped.

He was all broken up,

but he lived through it.

But it's not the nature of life

to be despairing.

The nature of life

is to be hopeful.

Strange, isn't it?

Each man's life touches

so many other lives.

When he isn't around,

he leaves an awful hole,

Doesn't he?

Are you sure

this is bailey park?

No, I'm not sure

of anything anymore.

All I know is,

this should be bailey park.

But where are the houses?

You weren't here

to build them.

Your brother, harry bailey,

broke through the ice

And was drowned

at the age of nine.

That's a lie.

Harry bailey went to war.
