Mookie Betts,
That's the way it should be.
If you want to do good to others, go ahead and do it quietly, anonymously,
without trumpeting it, for the sake of your own soul.

제가 중환자실을 운영할 때, 볼티모어 거리에서 다 죽어가는 homeless환자를 소방서대원들이 데리고 왔어요. 복막염이었는지? 열심히 치료하여 다 나았고, 환자의 딸도 마사츄쎝에서 데려와 어머니와 상봉하게 하여 병원이 떠들석 했는데 며칠후에 밤에 조용히 사라졌어요. 딸은 눈물 범벅이 되구요.
운영자 말씀같이 homeless는 정신병인 것 같아요. PET나 functional MRI로 그들의 뇌를 찍어 보면 어느 특정부위의 부피가 아주 작아져 있는 걸 보게 되죠. 아직 치료법이 없죠. 아니면 치료법을 개발안하는지도 모르죠.
흥미 있는 것을 올려 주셔서 감사합니다.

"Homelessness emerged as a national issue in the mid-20th century as one of the unintended consequences of closing state mental hospitals without providing replacement treatment for people with the most serious mental illness. Formerly hospitalized individuals without resources who were unable to live independently moved to the streets, making up a growing portion of the homeless population. With the limited supply of publicly supported psychiatric beds shrinking virtually every year since then and those beds that remain increasingly dedicated to criminal offenders, access to treatment for severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is becoming ever more restricted. This leaves increasing numbers of people who require intensive services to remain unstable and experience negative consequences, homelessness among them."

The American homeless are not like those homeless in Korea during the Korean War.
We erroneously transpose the hardship to the American homeless but that's a mistake.
I guess very few of them are hungry enough to get waken up at 1:00 AM in the morning.
Most of them are there at their choice. It's a different world.
