8. Satisfied with Results
A serendipitous meeting between a homeless guy and a talented barber in the middle of Union Square in New York City exposes a moving tale of resiliency against broken promises. The man’s past efforts at keeping his appearance with rusty, non-functional buzzers reveal his will to preserve dignity in spite of difficult conditions. Driven by the possibility of job that never materialised, his trip to New York City reflects a typical but sometimes disregarded story in urban homelessness. Notwithstanding this major setback, his continued hope is amazing and motivating. Apart from his appearance, the professional buzz-cut he got might open new job prospects. This change emphasises how important good grooming is to ending the cycle of homelessness, especially when one is looking a job. His obvious pleasure points to the possibility that a more good future starts with this small act of compassion.
