Are we losing humanity?

hungry residents of turukana,kenya

I saw two teens lying next to a burst sewer. The ground was damp, plastic bags littered all over and a bad odor emanated from the raw sewage. I wondered how the two end up sleeping there. How come the bad smell didn’t deprive them of the much needed sleep? Did they have a home? People who cared? What happens when it rains and everybody else retreats to their cozy homes? What happens when they get sick? Do they attend school? Why do some people have plenty and others nothing? Is it we who choose the conditions of our lives or nature does that for us? What steps can they take to change their lives for better?
