Homeless and Gypsies

In any big city, there is a small amount of people that have the unfortunate position of living in the streets and sleeping out in the cold. These people can be either people who have stumbled on hard times, or are gypsies. Even though the homeless look like they are homeless, some are not, and just want to take your money and play with your conscience. Even though this happens, its a really sad sight to bear. You can walk along a street, and find multiple homeless begging for spare change. Its hard to fathom all the adversity they had to face to become in the position that they are now. Some like gypsies, have a horrible reputation of being master pickpockets and conniving thieves. Some are trying to push through this barrier put up by society and break trough to show the better side of what gypsies really are. People thought that they came from Egypt, hence the name Gypsies, but actually traces of sanscrit have been found in their language, placing them more towards india than other places. They are a migratory people, who have moved because of constant persecution and no cultural tolerance. Its hard to see both groups like this in such a beautiful country, but life is what it is, and education is the only gift that I have to take advantage of, and it is the key to my future. Thats the difference. Taking advantage of your gifts and counting your blessings :)
