Body found frozen in ice with feet sticking out like popsicle sticks


I saw this picture on a blog about homelessness a few days ago and it wont seem to leave me. I'm sorry if my posting this bothers you. It's a tough picture to look at. But honestly, no one is going to read my blog. I'm not posting for the millions of readers out there, I'm just dealing with this stuff.
Anyway, this body was found in Detroit. The guy was probably homeless and had probably been there a while. No one seems to care. No one is talking about it. Its not getting headlines. The only reason anyone cared about this body is that the state of it is ridiculous. In case this post isnt making sense, you can read the full article, but this body was found frozen in ice with his feet sticking up like a popsicle. I am not sure how I am supposed to feel about this. Is compassion the right response? Anger? Frustration? Indifference? Sorry for the nonsensical post. it is what it is.

Very sad. Its surprising when I think about the homeless, there really isn't much difference between us.
