Are you Immuned to the Sight of Poverty?

Carl Lewis, one of the greatest athletics of all times, recalled a trip he'll never forget.

"I went to India in 20004...I saw the Taj Mahal and it was beautiful. But there was also much poverty and homelessness.

I saw two young girls huddling on thekerb near my hotel and I asked the hotel manager about it. He replied that it was normal and they'd all got used to it.

That kind of suffering is not something we should get used to; we ought to be affected by it.

Squatter blocks were literally just next to million-dollar houses and nobody helped the poor."
