The homeless university lecturer: ‘There’s a sense of shame around it’
True. If this sort of thing happens in your so-called “first world” country, you should feel a profound sense of shame about it. It shows that your society is failing.
With the levels of wealth and technology we have in countries like Ireland, having homelessness is a choice. We’ve chosen cruelty. We’ve said we’re ok with it. So yes, we should definitely be feeling ashamed.
You know who is the last person who should feel ashamed? A homeless person whom we have failed as a society.
