This is what The Bandit said upon seeing people sleeping in doorways literally feet away from those with the means to help.
He said it so effortlessly, with such sincerity, that I had to write it down on the only thing I had, the back of a paper price tag.
Believe me: This man walks the walk. He has such a big heart. Is it any wonder I love him so with such beautiful things in his heart and head?
The Bandit, I am proud to be yours.

Following information courtesy of Wikipedia ... "The Panopticon is a type of prison building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in 1785. The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (opticon) all (pan) prisoners without the incarcerated being able to tell whether they are being watched."
Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example."
OR ... to put that into a modern context - perhaps just a place to relax and reflect upon the world?
This modern panopticon near my home, built in 2007, stands at the top of a viewpoint above the town and the surrounding valleys. I was driving home one evening in September and the sunset was quite spectacular. I just couldn't resist a quick detour up to the Halo to take a picture. I wasn't the only one, as you can see from the sillouette of the 2 ladies in the foreground. At night the halo is lit by blue lights, built into the halo, which can be seen from a few miles away.
The Path of Philosophy (Tetsugaku no michi) is a pleasant path besides a canal that connects Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) with the vicinity of Nanzenji. Cherry blossom trees are planted along most of the two Km long path, making it one of Kyoto's most popular spots for hanami in spring. In addition, several smaller temples and a few restaurants can be found along this beautiful path.

The Philosopher's Walk (å²å¦ć®é Tetsugaku-no-michi, lit. Path of Philosophy) is a pedestrian path that follows a cherry-tree-lined canal in Kyoto, between Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji. The route is so-named because the influential 20th-century Japanese philosopher and Kyoto University professor Nishida Kitaro is thought to have used it for daily meditation. It passes a number of temples and shrines such as HÅnen-in, Åtoyo Shrine, and Eikan-dÅ Zenrin-ji. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the walk, although many people spend more time visiting the sights along the way. On the northern part of the walk, there are good views of the nearby Daimonji. The walk is a popular destination for tourists and locals, especially during hanami.

a famous narrow path along a quiet canal where a local philosopher used to take his daily walk. we were lucky to encounter so few other tourists along it.
