Interview

I just read a classmate's blog about nervousness in conducting an interview for the first time. I also found myself there; especially, when interviewing someone who is at the same time living the life of a homeless person and working by some means on a PhD. The assignment: find an interesting person to interview; I think I have done just that. In our society, we have a tendency to look down on the homeless; simultaneously, we have a tendency to look up to a PhD candidate. It was a possession of nearly all of society’s levels in this singular being.

It is how we think that shows us how we see ourselves. When asked, "How long have you been homeless?" the reply was "I have been living with the homeless for eight or nine years."

Intriguing. What an interesting paradox.
