was watching a drugged homeless person leaning against a tree at a red light today. kept imagining that he was once a little baby, with a loving mother and father. odds are he was loved as human nature encodes love towards children. where are they? what happened? how do u get here?

I don’t really think it’s beneficial to think of the love they might have had, it’s better to show them YOUR love. Next time I’d try offering a form of assistance in any capacity. I don’t mean this to be judgmental, just something more constructive than a social post about this. It feels distasteful tbh

hmmm i don’t find it distasteful at all. i think this was a reflective post, not intended to solve the homeless crisis, but to provoke deeper thinking about our origins. also last time i showed a form of assistance to a homeless person in LA i got shoved off the sidewalk, everybody has different experiences

why feel the need to reflect on it on social for likes? I appreciate reflecting on our origins but this context & situation it feels off. homelessness can’t be solved by one person or a small group. but we can all try when presented the opportunity, even after bad experiences. we can’t give up on the vulnerable.

also to be clear, I’m not trying to take a shot at anyone’s character. I just have a hard time seeing the analogy or moment of reflection when we’re talking about people suffering and not trying to actively help.
