The Human Experience Page #5

He got the congressional medal

of honor.

He saved the lives of every man

on that transport.

Every man

on that transport died.

Harry wasn't there to save them

Because you weren't there

to save harry.

You see, george, you really had

a wonderful life.

Here's your one tray, please.

Thank you.

Life is other people.

It's just that simple.

And if you view each

of the other that you meet

As being a component

of yourself,

It can change the way

you see things.

What is your meaning?

Like, what's your outlook

on life?

What is the reason for living?

I'm not on this planet for nothing.

I'm here for a purpose.

I don't know

what that purpose is.

Like this gentleman said,

we all have our faults.

We all did our things. So if our

purpose is to make mistakes

And learn from our mistakes,

That's gonna help us

to be a greater

Or less of a greater individual

along the way.

We meet people

through our life.

So my main focus is,

why my existence here

Is to help other people

and, as well, ask to get help.

I try to keep a good outlook.

With that, I can have my hope

and my dreams.

And I don't have to give...

I do not have to give anything,

including my dignity.

Forget about the part

that you have a home, okay.

Let's not acknowledge that.

But what did you experience

By you taking

this leap of faith?

I felt very vulnerable,

you know, vulnerable,

Easy to be attacked by anybody.

- It's a bunch of emotions.

- It's a lot.

I felt, at times, a little

humiliated, embarrassed.

- Yeah.

- You're not secure.

You're definitely not...

you're not safe.

To get to know

some homeless people

And to get to see some

of that commonness of humanity,

How very similar we really are.

I congratulate you.

At least you got balls enough

to come out here

And really sit around us

And understand

what we go through.

Most people say,

"oh, they're not human."

No, we're not automatons,

either.

Okay, you know, we have blood.

We have a heart.

We have a mind, a spirit,

and a soul.

As we get more days,

more experience on the street...

I don't know...

you become more humbled.

You become more...

You can feel the humility that

the homeless people go through.

And I don't know.

It's different.

Like, I don't know.

My whole heart feels different.

Really, it doesn't matter

who you are,

What your background is.

You can converse

on that experience.

And that is what makes us human.

That's a beginning

of a human community.

Experience can be

a generous teacher

Or a cruel teacher.

And it depends on those

experiences in life.

But whatever experience

we have,

Whether it is good

or whether it's bad,

We can always remember it
