Beskrivelse af Somewhat Less Than Human
Homelessness today is a common thing in every city in America. The "good people," the "decent people," will typically cross the street to avoid crossing paths with a homeless person. The homeless are looked down upon, disparaged, cursed at and called worthless and lazy. And to be honest, many of them are lazy. But nobody is worthless. Not in God's eyes. Most homeless, besides being considered lazy, are assumed to be drug addicts or alcoholics. And again, to be honest, many of them are. But many of them are just as they appear: down on their luck in a society which makes it extremely difficult for such people to climb out of the pits of poverty and to become "normal" again. I was once homeless myself. I remember how it felt to be unwanted by the citizens of Dallas. I can relate to how the homeless of today feel somewhat less than human. The reason I wanted to write this book was to show my readers a side of homelessness they perhaps didn't know existed. A side that only the homeless see.
