i saw a man in a similar position of similar situation lying (sleeping) in some grassy patch in the streets today.. people stared as they walked by, but they continued on their business without blinking twice. why not? its the norm nowadays so that makes it ok, right? ..right?
I did couple of my photography reaseach assignmnets on homeless people. and I used to feel sorry for them and try to at least exchange a smile. However, after I got mugged -twice- I no longer feel pity.
After what I went through because of a homeless person I realized that these people can live happy and healthy but they choose to live that way.
Anon, some people may choose to live that way, and that's their prerogative. But for those who don't choose to live this way, just finding themselves in bad times or with mental health issues, I think they still need our empathy and a helping hand.
