In the busy center of Union Square, New York City, an unplanned meeting between a homeless guy and a talented barber turns into a very poignant story of human tenacity. This narrative strikes especially close since it highlights the often disregarded will of those living in poverty to preserve their dignity. Even under extreme hardship, the man's past attempts to groom himself with destroyed buzzers tell volumes about his resilience and self-respect. Driven by the promise of job that never materialized, his trip to New York City symbolizes a sad frequent experience in metropolitan settings: the weight of shattered promises and lost chances. Still, the change that results from this accidental meeting makes this narrative really interesting. The expert haircut he gets marks a rebirth of hope and possibilities rather than only a cosmetic improvement. His obvious pleasure following the cut exposes the significant influence such expert care can have on confidence and self-image. This meeting reminds us strongly that occasionally the road to reconstructing one's life starts with recovering one's dignity by small but significant acts.
