Maybe its just the homeless in my city but honestly when talking to them on occasions I find them to be bright cheerful sometimes even highly intelligent people, albeit many with mental illness. If you've never actually talked to a homeless person you may not know this, but many are homeless by choice. One Wino that hangs out in front of a bar I go to on the Venice circle is an ex programmer who had a family, house, etc. One day he just said "fuck it" and dropped out. He panhandles and holds up funny signs like "Fuck You Pay Me" and lives a basic life of leisure on the beach. The point is that many are homeless by choice because they don't want any responsibilities or commitments. Many are carefree. That doesnt take away from the fact that many are terribly disturbed and have addiction issues.
When I used to see homeless people I would think "Dirty Bum, get a job", but after crossing paths with many I think that people should have a bit more compassion for their fellow man, even if they are living the life of Riley.
