I Am Dissapointed In Our Society

I sat there sharing lunch and a decent conversation with a homeless guy the other day and someone automatically assumed I was homeless too. Says something about the kind of society we live in I think.
That's awful. There are a few that choose to live that life, but the majority doesn't.

Not being disrespectful, but you are judged by the company you keep. Nothing you can do about that especially if you do not know the person assuming it. Why does that bother you? You cannot control others thoughts and they are basing their thoughts on your actions.

I don't tend to cross the street to avoid a potential situation. The closets thing to that is when someone is walking too close behind me and I stop to let them walk past me. But that's not a judgement thing as I do that to everyone- male, female, old, young, single people, groups of people, friends, my kids, strangers- it doesn't matter. Have I judged people? yeah, I'm not perfect, but I tend to shy away from judgements as much as possible and if I have that much of a strong reaction then I will at least make an attempt at approaching said person to strike up a conversation that way the judgement is not based purely on sight alone.

@Skelepop666 Well, I guess if you are wielding the scythe of death as your avatar suggest, then you need to fear no one. Hope you remain safe in your endeavors. Have a Merry Christmas!!

Haha, I have fears, then again if someone beat the hell out of me it wouldn't be for the first time. and I'll get over it.
Hope you have a merry Christmas too :)

You should have felt honored......many homeless guys I have talked to are a lot smarter than the millenials and snowflakes of today. Besides they are actually more free than we are.

@acpguy I agree, not only can they be smarter but they are certainly more grateful than a lot of millennials too

is there some reason they shouldn't? do you feel it's an insult to you, to be homeless?
Skelepop666 · 36-40, F
@firefall Not an insult to be thought as homeless at all. I used to be homeless and met many good people along the way and since. It just saddens me that many people in society seem to think it's ok to ignore them or just drop some loose change in front of them but it's not ok to 'get on their level' and converse with them or share a meal with them like the human beings they are.

Sadly it will get worse.
