do you interact with them? give them money or cigarettes if they ask?
how do you relate to them? do you somehow think its their situation and their responsibility for ending up where they are, and its none of your business or concern, and that if they wanted to change or help themselves, then they would?
or do you feel some sense of guilt that perhaps society has failed them, and let them fall as far as they have?
I've taken the time to talk to some homeless people. I've even given them $5 bucks to get a coffee and food if I sensed some sincerity in their asking.
Why would we treat "homeless" people different from any other people?
