How Bad is YOUR Life!

Chances are if you are looking at this photo, you have a computer, extra clothing, food and a roof over your head.

When you’re down and feeling abandoned, desolate and empty this day, maybe you can remember this fellow.

I first saw him about 2 months ago dressed in the same attention-grabbing tattered clothing but in a better state, then.

How Bad is Your Life?

Barcelona, 2008

Can you imagine that?

How does anyone get to this situation?

Looks like his best days are worse than your worse day.

There are so many people without homes, with different tales to tell and lessons that we can learn.

And, maybe, just maybe, he makes us thankful for our god-forsaken day.

  1. Parece un sobreviviente a un holocausto nuclear, de frente el tipo debería dar miedo.

    Thanks for bringing wonderful pictures of human lives where you live.

    Yes he certainly seems like a holocaust survivor.

    I will have to find the photo from the front, as those on flickr why he seems to look healthy and not gaunt in physical appearance.

    Hasta luego

  4. A photo should tell a story, in my opinion, sort of like a silent movie.

    For a photo to evoke emotion and reflection as my has and you wrote, is the greatest compliment I could ever get about a hobby I love.
