Commending your humanity, friend. It’s hard to see the problems that people like the homeless can cause in our day to day and not feel reproachful or angry. Even if I know the reason, and can empathize with the situation, it doesn’t make the interactions any less jarring or frustrating when they’re clearly in need or more assistance than they’re getting and that lack is harming them AND the community they need to rely on for survival.
Well I do my best to help them if I can. I sometimes volunteer in soup kitchens and donate to the orgs that help them.
You must understand though, some of these people have been homeless and hopeless for so long that they don’t really want to be helped. My city has very cold weather once in a while and before it happens the police are always out trying to talk people into going to a shelter. Each shelter is either a church, city building or business that is trying to keep people from literally freezing to death.
Its a bad situation but it gives me comfort to know that the homeless population is know decreasing. Its slow but we are making progress.
