This has left me feeling empty inside, but that is, I think, the point of the video. There's been some (minor) talk about there being no wisdom in glass. I beg to differ. This same person has also said there is wisdom in trees, again, I beg to differ.

The point of this video, perhaps, is to serve to highlight the soul-crushing plethora of ideas and wisdoms in places like London. Where clever people are drowning in a sea of clever people, and a failur of some of those cleverp eople to make room.

this is why we should be open and kind to everyone. we never know people on the inside.. it's always good to hear nice words and you never know who you might meet :)

I find this inspiring. Issam holds to his dreams and his hopes and his passions, despite his hurdles. Despite everything, he will not let any any rain fall on his parade. Though the clouds storm, he weaves webs of glad wrap for his ideas, and smiles even at his damp dreams. Awesome. Dreams must be able to move if they are impossible. But people can also move toward thier dreams.

sometimes i regret being talented and blessed to have dreams and goals. Because as passionate as i am about the dream, the older i get, and more into life i get (kids and work etc) the further I am from the dream coming true. no matter how much work I put in to see it become a reality. So passion becomes punishment & dream becomes a nightmare. Wishing sometimes that i could stay sleep. It has to feel good to know youre living someone else's dream. Ever felt that your dream is just that? A dream

It shows you the injustices of the world. We think we live in a meritocratic society where effort and skill is rewarded. Yet, this man who has dreams, potential and the skills necessary, is never truly given a chance and is only able to do the most menial of jobs. Life as we know it, is unjust.

@TrollOfReason or where clever people are drowning in a sea of overpaid overqualified narrow minded people.
