I drove into the gas station the other day pop into the store. And as I backed my car into the parking spot I noticed a huddled mass of clothing behind me in the rear view mirror.
It was a homeless man .
I was just trying to back the car in slowly and carefully so I didn't hit him.
Anyway it was initially startling to see a human being seeking refuge at a gas station lot as if that was the only place for him to go.
But then pity sunk in. I felt saddened thinking I drive in this nice warm luxurious car and this man lies in the cold shivering like that.
Point being - a nice car can be a symbol to project luxury, status and power for the owner to look down on others.
Or else it can make its owner appreciative & to realize how lucky he is that he is so much better off on many others who are much less fortunate in life.
Driving an expensive car doesn't make a person better than anyone else.
In the end....it's just a car Lex @The Prowler
