HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE HUMANS AS WELL! TREAT THEM THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.
YES, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FORCEFUL PANHANDLERS IN THE WORLD, BUT DON’T GIVE THEM MONEY, TALK TO THEM, UNDERSTAND THEIR SITUATIONS AND MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND GRATITUDE BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE TO WORK EVERY DAY AND ARE BORN INTO A SOCIETY OF COLONIALISM SO WE ALL SUFFER. EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND A HOMELESS PERSON’S LIFE, THEY SHOULD ALSO HAVE MUTUAL CONSIDERATION AND IF THEY ARE GOING TO PANHANDLE, THEY SHOULD DO IT A VERY CONSIDERATE WAY! YES, WE ALL STRUGGLE, BUT THERE ARE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES TO BE MADE AS WELL EVERY DAY. IT ALL DEPENDS HOW WILLING YOU ARE TO GET OUT OF YOUR UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. IF YOU ENCOUNTER THE CRAZY TYPES OF PANHANDLERS, “FORCEFUL PREACHERS”, AND OTHER INCONSIDERATE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE HOMELESS, DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY OR DO NOT ENTERTAIN THEIR NEGATIVE ENERGY SINCE IT IS SIMILAR TO THE EVERY DAY OPPRESSIVE ENERGY OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, STEREOTYPES, RACISM, SEXISM, AND MUCH MORE GOING ON EVERY DAY WE SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO IN OUR COMMUNITIES, ETC. EVERY DAY THERE IS SOMEONE STRUGGLING TO PAY BILLS, STRUGGLING TO PAY THE RENT ON TIME, STRUGGLING TO PAY SOMEONE THEY OWE, AND MUCH MORE, SO INVESTING IN A HOMELESS PERSON THAT FEELS STUCK WITHOUT USING SYSTEMS HE OR SHE IS ABLE TO MANIPULATE FOR THEIR PROGRESSION IS POINTLESS UNLESS YOU CAN GIVE THEM LONG TERM PROGRESSION LIKE YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF! COMPLACENCY SHOULD NOT BE A GOAL! AN ULTIMATE GOAL FOR EVERYONE SHOULD BE TO LIVE LIFE COMFORTABLY AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WHILE GAINING REVENUE AND LONG TERM ASSETS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERY HUMAN BEING NEEDS EMOTIONAL SECURITY TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES, FINANCIAL SECURITY TO LIVE LIFE COMFORTABLY IN OUR HUMAN SYSTEMS AND MAYBE CAUSE REFORM IN OUR OPPRESSIVE WAYS, AND HORMONAL SECURITY SINCE WE ALL HAVE HORMONES SO WE CAN ALL USE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER AND GETTING LONELY IS NATURAL ANYWAY. SO, WE JUST MIGHT HATE HOMELESS PEOPLE BECAUSE WE MISUNDERSTAND THEM AND THE INCONSIDERATE ONES MAKE THEM LOOK BAD JUST LIKE HOW WE HATE RAPISTS, ABUSERS, AND KILLERS BUT SOME OF THEM ARE INNOCENT AND FRAMED AND ARE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF SECRETLY JUST LIKE THERE ARE SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT MIND THEIR BUSINESS AND GET ABUSED BY POLICE OR RANDOM PEOPLE. HUMANITY IS A CRAZY ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF PREDICAMENTS!
