We don't make space for everyone in the city. It's all about looking good, really. We don't want to be disturbed in our urban bubble by people who don't fit, who aren't productive or who have nowhere to wash. I asked the street people in the park whether they had voted, and they answered that they were not registered. They watched the queue of voters all day. Maybe it's difficult to register if your home address is 'the park' ... I don't even know.
The spiritual teacher who John followed broke religious and social rules to help people. This made political and religious leaders furious. The reply was, "Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly."
How do we make room in our urban hub for everyone?
