A homeless man on the side of the street begs for money from pedestrians on their way to work, or to shop, or to go have lunch, a meal which he may not have today. On average he makes at best a dollar an hour. He is always overlooked by the busy people of the world.
A marketer comes by the man and reads his sign: "Homeless. Please, help." He asks the homeless man how much he makes in an hour. After the homeless man answers, the marketer says, "I'll give you ten dollars for you to let me rewrite your sign and another ten if you tell me how much you make in the hour that I'm at lunch." The homeless man let's him rewrite the sign and then the marketer goes off to lunch.
An hour passes, and the marketer comes back to the homeless man. The homeless man thanks the marketer for rewriting his sign and gives the marketer the ten dollars back plus a ten dollar tip. The homeless man made sixty dollars in the one hour.
The sign read: "Imagine if you were in my place."
True story. What does this say about humanity?
