dark days response

I thought that this documentary was particularly disturbing and awakening. It really shows the horrors that can come from drug abuse. When that man spoke of how he had a wife and kids it made me want to slap him when he picked drugs over his family after his wife gave him an ultimatum although he does seem to be one of the most responsible homeless men in those subway stations. You can really sympathize for him because you start wondering..well he stopped doing drug and is trying to do good for himself now but its too late, if only he would've realized this before he lost everything. Its sad that you only appreciate what you have when you no longer have it. Not only is it sad that these people are living there but its also very scary of how dangerous they live. They are constantly near speeding trains and people that they do not necessarily know that may want what they have and do whatever it takes to get it. I think that this documentary really proves what we were talking about in class about taking care of our own. I feel that we should create more homeless shelters so that even if we have people that have put them selves in such bad situations they still don't have to feel obliged to be in potentially deadly situations.
