I was kneeling on the ground, talking to two homeless veterans on lower Broadway at the exact moment I met Mr. A in Oct 2009. They were telling me how people kick them, pour beer on them, spit on them. How they used to be heroes. How I was the first person all day who had smiled at them--who had stopped all day to treat them like real people. I didnt give them money, because I didnt have any, but I gave them the respect of listening to their stories. I just watched this video & it made me think of those two men. Moved me to tears. The power of dignity. Of truly seeing someone. The value of one person believing in another. Beautiful. buzzfeed/ryanhatesthis/watch-this-incredible-timelapse-of-what-happens-when-you-giv
