There's nothing beautiful about homelessness - the strongest message conveyed to me is to never, ever take my good fortune for granted. This could be you or I some day - as confronting a thought that may be. Treasure your blessed life.

Apr 13, 2012 - I really enjoyed this, I watched it several times; innovative, thoughtful and the music strengthens the message!

tomiratz Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - i don't think the message is asking you to look at yourself and say "geez i'm lucky phew! that was a close one!" i think the message is supposed to make you think "geez, maybe i should listen to those who suffer instead of counting my blessings"

glengowan06 Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - ..."In the nicest possible way / with all due respect"... I do listen and I did listen, hence I'm able to count my blessings. Let's not be argumentative here - this is a beautiful piece of work - it moved me. Let it be.

tomiratz Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - what is the point of counting your blessings by comparing to someone who is worse off? this seems like a silly proposition. What i am trying to say is this: imagine you went to a poor Nation in Africa, looked a child in need in the eye and said: "lucky i'm able to count my blessings!"Herein lies the silly nature of these sort of comments. They are inherently selfish, and disregarding to the person in need. Don't look at this video and count your blessings, ask: how can i make the world better

tomiratz Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - your blessings have nothign to do with this video. this video is about the lack of blessings others have and how we ignore them.

glengowan06 Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - Thank you for probing my depths and do appreciate your concerns...Perhaps I'm not able to articulate my point well enough but shall give it one last try: I witness human suffering on an ongoing basis - neither for money nor for ego gratification / to satisfy some pseudo altruistic desire to "make the world better". I can't help it that the intensity of suffering instils an appreciation for my lot in life. So be it.
