Some answers were obvious

Some of the answers were obvious. Alcohol and drug abuse is a scourge. It will continue to destroy lives and I see no easy answer to the problem.

I got a clearer picture when I became homeless. I might have been able to be salvaged in the first few weeks when I was on the streets. It didn’t take long before I was as screwed up like everyone else sleeping in the shelter.

We all make mistakes

People make mistakes in life. In my case, it was a combination of poor decisions and circumstances beyond my control. Homeless people rarely share their life stories, but the few who did tell me similar tales.

The stories I heard lead me to the conclusion. Some people can’t handle life. the minutiae of everyday life are too much for them. I often wondered if I fit into that category.

They don’t get jobs because they can’t function without help

The answer to why they don’t get jobs, a lot of homeless can’t function. They have trouble with basics like eating, bathing, or talking in coherent sentences. Much less keeping a job.

I hadn’t sunk that low, but some people weren’t as strong as I pretended to be. I don’t believe all the homeless choose that life, I know I didn’t.

Once you are there, it’s hard to get out

It’s hard to crawl out of a deep hole alone, and some people give up on the climb.

I don’t have the answers. I know in my gut that more needs to be done to help the mentally ill and people battling substance abuse.

I know that the poor and homeless will always be with us, but not all the homeless want to be on the streets. So we should be able to help them.

Final thought

Most homeless people don’t choose to be homeless. I met a few that preferred street life. It’s impossible to help those who don’t want help.

Homeless people are like anyone else. They are human and have made mistakes; I know I made plenty of them. So instead of ignoring them or tell them to “get a job.” Think to yourself, “ there but for the grace of God go I.”
