Tunnel to Homelessness

I took at least a dozen of these before I noticed a homeless guy had stashed his stuff inside the light tunnel.  I wasn't expecting it.  Huntsville, like all cities, has its share of homeless but they don't normally hang out at the park. But I'll let it serve as a metaphor.  

I could retouch it out (okay, I couldn't but it's possible) and pretend it's not the truth.  Or I could show you the truth. It is so easy for us to love the lies in life.

It's really no different than how we approach real life.  We'll spend money to make the homeless "disappear" a lot faster than we'll spend money to cure homelessness.  Ignoring the problems we face — making them disappear — does not solve them.  The world would be a lot more beautiful if we'd quit making it ugly.
