We have lots of homeless people in Seattle.
I give them money sometimes and coffee when I have some extra.
I used to relate to them pretty prejudiced and now as I'm going through life changes (see my recent post) I've found myself as a homeless person. Sometimes life can be really hard on people. But at the same time I find that many homeless are homeless because they rather be homeless than to conform to the normal societal system in place. Many that I met are pretty happy and most I've met are cooky but and some just really wonderful people.
I don't feel much guilt for them. I feel that anything they want to put their mind to, they can become and this is their lifestyle choice (of there are exceptions to this).
I do think there are differences in the types of homeless. Some I'd see as lifestyle homeless and others as temporarily displaced people trying to get back on their feet.
