Invisible People

Queen Street on the Corner of Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Poverty is the worst form of violence. - Mahatma Gandhi

It isn’t hard to comprehend this man’s slow spiral into invisibility. People started to walk past him, ignoring him as if he didn’t exist… much like they do a piece of trash on the sidewalk. It’s not that people are bad, but if we make eye contact, or engage in conversation, then we have to admit they exist and that we might have a basic human need to care. But it’s so much easier to simply close our eyes and shield our hearts to their existence.
