Homeless in Vancouver: A sign of despair or responsibility or both?
1 of 1 2 of 1
Someone went to some trouble to make the big signs I found yesterday in a Dumpster up near Cambie Street.
They were nearly the size and shape of doors; made from thin, flimsy plywood and well-covered in black chalkboard paint.
All for these two throwaway messages scrawled in white chalk:
“The less I needed, the better I felt” and “when you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead”.
If I didn’t know better—and I don’t—I’d say it was someone raising a family and paying off a mortgage.
