I am 25, male, from Humboldt County, California
It means that someone doesn't have a consistent secure place to go to.
Desperate, sad, struggling, overlooked, and used.
I have seen and interacted with homeless people. I usually try to give them some change.
I see a difficult time in that person's life. I do feel sorry for them, and wish them a speedy recovery.
There are many causes. Some of them are within your control and some aren't.
I try to help them. If the have a request I listen and see if I can help or not.
It isn't spoken of much because it is considered shameful, or a personal failing.
They are going through a difficult time, and need help.
I try not to rub or do something resentful. Like use my smartphone, or eat something.
Hopefully some kind of food, hygienic item, or food for their pet.
Sorrow, and a little respect.
Something about life being easier if we worked together.
I don't know. I would like to see more compassion than judgement.
