How do you react to homeless people?

How does it differ if it might be someone you know/knew that you haven't talked to for awhile.

It makes me very sad. Whether it be due to their own bad decisions or something else, everybody deseves a safe place but where I live, we have people who seem to have turned being 'homeless' into a panhandling career and live better than I do so when I see them on every corner, I ignore them.
As for it being someone I know - I brought him into my home and went thru pure hell due to his drug abuse but I didn't turn my back on him. He is now clean, sober, working, paying rent in his own place and back together with his wife.

@SatanBurger the one that made me think this wasn't hustling. Just sitting in a spot where I couldn't not see them in a way where I couldn't tell anything about them

@Justafantasy very true my friend but that is why I take people and life on a case-by-case basis rather than a blanket rule
@KingofBones1 I agree with that idea. Usually once or twice a year I end up somewhere I see homelessness, whether an individual or group. Knowing how close that came to being my whole life I always feel I should do something, I've yet to figure out what. Realized after a couple things I could've done

@Justafantasy I'm not against doing something my friend because there are a lot of good people especially many veterans that are stuck on the street I was one of them for about 2 years. I'm just saying do something for the right people that's all
