I know plenty of bums who don't live on the street. And I
know plenty of people who live on the street and work their asses off just to
eat. Don't judge someone just because you've never been in their position. Just
because you have never been that far down. In my past, me and my family have
had times in our lives when we literally lived on the streets. The only way we
made it out was by pounding pavement and receiving generosity from kind
strangers. Some people are terribly stuck and can't seem to dig their way out.
Some people literally have no family, or no family to claim them. The least you
can do is treat homeless people with respect. No one is saying you have to give
them anything more than common decency. They are still human, first and
foremost, after all. As long as the respect is returned, it is earned.
